UK: MARKET FOR ETHICAL INVESTMENT ADVICE TO GROW
Article Abstract:
The market for ethical investing advice will expand dramatically in 2001, says the Ethical Investment Research Service (Eiris). Ethical financial planning helps investors take into account social and ethical issues, such as genetic engineering, human rights and the environment. Eiris has published a directory of IFAs who provide clients with ethical investment advice following requests from investors. Eiris offers company lists, corporate reports and portfolio analysis to match clients with their areas of concern and help them develop an investment strategy. Clients are becoming increasingly aware of their influence over ethical investments, says Eiris. The claims of the IFAs listed are not verified in the publication and no recommendations are made.
