An ISA for your future
(and everyone else’s as well)
The Ethical ISA from Healthy Investment has been specially designed to meet the needs of those looking for a cautious ethical investment.
With no early withdrawal charges the Ethical ISA gives investors the freedom and flexibility to invest for their future.
The ISA invests in the Healthy Investment Ethical With-profits Fund which includes a mix of stocks and shares, government and corporate bonds, commercial properties and bank deposits, all actively managed to maximise the potential returns.
Peter Green, Chief Executive of the Society explained, ‘we know that more and more people are looking for investment opportunities and investment products where they know their money won’t be used to harm others.’
Ethical investing has become much more popular with research suggesting that over the last 5 years the amount invested in ethical funds has grown from £176 billion to over £266 billion.
Peter added ‘Whilst there are many ethical funds available for investors many of them are high risk. Positive screening often leads to investments in new technologies and smaller companies which by their very nature can result in investors taking much more risk than they intended.’
The Healthy Investment Ethical With-profits Fund only invests in companies that can demonstrate responsible business practices and doesn’t invest in industries that cause harm to others. That means avoiding investments in alcohol, tobacco and arms manufactures and pornography and gambling providers.
Peter added ‘whilst negative screening might not be considered to be at the fore front of ethical investing it provides an opportunity to invest in a more cautious fund that includes a wide of range of assets. ‘
