Guide launched for ethical investment

Wednesday, September 28, 2005

People in the UK looking to invest their money ethically may find the process easier now that the Investment Management Association (IMA) has produced a guide.

The fact sheet defines to consumers what an ethical investment is and offers advice on how to invest ethically without sacrificing good returns.

Head of communications at IMA, Mona Patel, said: "The majority of investors seek long-term sustainable returns and this fact sheet explains how it’s possible to achieve this while also investing according to your ethical principles."

Last year, Brits invested over £10 billion in ethical funds.
