And that although 70% of investors want to feel their investments are doing more good than harm, only 10% of advisers regularly recommend ethical and sustainable investments?<\/p>\n
We\u2019re proud to be part of that minority. As members of the Ethical Investment and UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association, we can help you to invest responsibly without sacrificing the best financial returns. It may be that you\u2019re concerned about the world in which we live in and make an effort to care for our environment. Or that you want to ensure that your investments won\u2019t support, for instance, tobacco or armaments companies.\u00a0We believe that investing responsibly provides the best chance for both long-term growth and our future prosperity. And with a growing choice of ethical investment funds and changing corporate attitudes, there\u2019s now no need to compromise your principles for investment performance.<\/p>\n

The amount invested in ethical funds has grown rapidly, increasing substantially in the last decade, as has the number of \u2018ethical\u2019 pension and investment funds available; but with increasing choice comes increasing complexity.<\/p>\n
The first ethical funds screened out the \u2018bad\u2019 stuff, tobacco, armaments and latterly, mining and oil companies. Then came \u2018Positive Impact\u2019 as well as negative ethical investment, not just avoiding the bad guys, but seeking out the good ones. \u2018Sustainable\u2019 funds look to invest in companies and industries still likely to be around in future decades and more recently, \u2019ESG\u2019, Environmental, Social, Governance\u2019 funds look under the bonnet at how companies are managed and run.<\/p>\n
We take the time to \u2018look under the bonnet\u2019 at our recommended portfolios to make sure they\u2019re both properly \u2018ethical\u2019 and that they are tailored to the level of risk that we agree is right for your circumstances. It\u2019s important to remember that when investing ethically the same risks and principles apply; diversification (and good advice) are the keys to better performance.<\/p>\n
