Ethical ISAs

Ethical investments are those made according to environmental, social and personal values. Buy your ethical ISA online and pay 0% initial commission today.

Many people want to invest in high performing funds but not compromise their standards with regards to the environment. Ethical investments are those made according to environmental, social and personal values. There are 3 main strategies:

  1. Negative screening - which excludes companies from portfolios that do not meet a particular fund’s criteria, for example pollution
  2. Positive screening - actively seeking out companies with positive, social and environmental characteristics, for example Sustainable Forestry
  3. Engagement - lobbying companies on social and environmental issues to help encourage improvements in Corporate Behaviour

If this sounds like you, here is a list of funds which might be of interest. For further information relating to each fund, please see the relevant fund fact sheet via the more info icon.

Remember, you pay 0% initial commission on all ISAs and funds purchased online.
