Investments
“Put your money where your morals are”
More and more people are looking for ways
to invest in line with their principles – but what does this
actually mean?
There is no such thing as a “perfect company” to
invest with and there are no real rights or wrongs in ethical investing.
However, as an ethical investor, it is important that
you are comfortable with the funds in which you invest. This means
that you should be aware of how a fund operates and what it aims
to achieve.
Even though there are a number of similarities between the
criteria
employed by the ethical funds, approaches vary considerably.
You may wish to invest in a fund that avoids
certain
companies, for example nuclear power, arms manufacture or tobacco.
You may also wish to support companies that are providing basic
necessities of life, like water, or companies that help to conserve
natural resources.
Not all funds will meet your personal criteria, but the main issue
should be that you are comfortable with the approach offered by a
particular ethical fund.
We can analyse the whole of market on your
behalf and offer individually tailored advice that’s right
