Avoiding The Bad Stuff

It is also a way of avoiding investment in companies which make the world a worse place.   After all, if you would be ashamed to work in an industry, why invest in it?  For instance, those companies which:

• Manufacture Armaments
• Make more than 10% of profits from addictive products, such as tobacco, alcohol and gambling
• Operate without regard to human rights
• Carry out irresponsible or - depending on your stance, any - animal experimentation

But be careful.  Not all ethical funds have the same integrity - and some funds will match your values better than others.  Which is why you need a specialist adviser, such as Barchester Green, to guide you through the 88 funds currently on offer.

Investments can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount invested.
