Description of Ethical Money

Socially responsible investment is the fastest growing sector of the collective investment industry. Through its growth and strong financial performance, it has proved to be a major investment force within the financial world. Ethical investment is certainly not a financial protest movement in which people expect to lose their money for a good cause. Over and over again this area of investment has demonstrated that it is a financially sound choice, as well as a socially responsible one.

Ethical Money is the perfect introduction to this subject. The book explains exactly what constitutes ethical investment and shows the reader where to find out about ethical unit trusts and investment trusts and how to compare these in performance against peer funds and their own past performance. Contents include:

- the advantages of ethical investment

- the different 'green' credentials and concerns that motivate people

- the dilemmas of an ethical investment management approach

- how investors can sort out their own concerns

- the different priorities of fund managers

- the who, why and wherefore of ethical investment opportunities

Based on in-depth research of the strategies and financial policies of specialists in ethical investment, this jargon-free book outlines how the reader can make considered decisions about both present and future investments that allow them a clear conscience as well as a high return.
