Ethical investment bonds

Over recent years many investors have realised that investing ethically does not automatically mean sacrificing profits for principles. Socially responsible investments can compete at the same level as their more mainstream counterparts - and can in fact, in some instances, even surpass them. And ethical funds could do very well in the future because social and environmental legislation is being tightened up all the time.
Consumers are increasingly exercising their political or environmental choice by, for example, buying organic food or cruelty-free cosmetics. To attract this type of consumer, the financial market is therefore providing alternative options to traditional finance.

We can help you choose the right ethical investments

According to the Ethical Investment Research Company (2003), there are now over 40 funds in the UK dedicated to responsible investment and an estimated £2.8 billion under ethical management, although we’re still a long way behind the US in this.

If you decide that you want to investigate how to invest ethically, complete our call me back form and an independent investment specialist will contact you and guide you through the choices available. For example, you might feel that ethical funds are right for you, but you might equally want to put your money into other sectors.

If you decide to go down the ethical investment route, you need to check the policy of your chosen company to ensure that it suits your beliefs. Some funds set up a dialogue with companies in order to persuade them to adopt the best practice on social, environmental and ethical issues.

The easiest way to invest ethically is through a collective investment fund such as a unit trust. There are also a number of ethical fund providers offering ethical pension plans and endowment policies. You can even take out an ethical life assurance policy.
