Ethical Investments

More and more people are taking an interest in ethical and environmental issues and making investment choices which support their principles. Ethical funds are screened on positive and negative criteria. "Positive screening enables investment in companies which make a positive contribution to society or the environment, while negative screening avoids investing in the shares of businesses who are considered to cause harm in some way.

Ethical funds exist in the form of Unit Trusts, Investment Trusts, pensions and savings schemes, and there are about 50 retail ethical funds in the UK.

Please look at our "Links" page - it can take you to the "TrustNet" website which contains a comprehensive online Guide to Ethical Investments - and which also includes information on the risks involved.

We can help you to invest in ethical funds.
