Ethical investing is no different, as it allows you to focus on organisations that make a difference, in the areas that are important to you.
At Amethyst we have a range of 40 portfolios available to our customers available which align to your Ethical Profile and Risk Grade, depending on your tolerance for risk and capacity for loss.
Our ethical portfolios can be used in both Investment and Retirement planning.
We have both Risk and Ethical questionnaires to identify the most suitable portfolio for your individual needs and circumstances.
Increasingly however, investors have realised that they have the potential to have a positive impact on the way in which companies operate, by using share ownership to engage with company management to improve the way they treat their employees, suppliers and the environment. It’s this latter, more positively focused approach, which is commonly referred to as Socially Responsible Investing (SRI).
Whilst this is great news for all of us, companies do not make these changes out of the goodness of their hearts. A business that considers its impact on stakeholders can also reduce legal and regulatory costs and even improve a company’s brand. Products that offer sustainable solutions to issues such as climate change, can also prove incredibly valuable.
