So what is ethical investment? 

Perhaps a better idea can be gained by its alternative but increasingly used generic title ‘Socially Responsible Investment’ (SRI). As well as Ethical, this title covers Ecological and Environmental funds. These types of investments allow clients to integrate their values and beliefs with their financial requirements. 

By investing in a socially and environmentally responsible manner clients can be assure that their money is not going to finance businesses engaged in poor social and environmental practices. They can also be assured in the knowledge that their investments are helping to create a sound and sustainable future. In other words, they are investing for profit with principles.
