Ethical investment is a term that was introduced about 10 years ago. Since then, the amount of ethical investments has quadrupled. Investing ethically is all about lending your capital to an institution, which will use your money to invest in companies that act sustainable and ethical. Mark Robertson, from yourethicalmoney.org, says that your investment only has an impact if you put your money into an ethical financial institution and not in a bank that doesn’t have ethical lending policies.
The quantity of ethical investments is still too small compared to other investments. In the UK, ethical investments only represent 1% of the investment market. So how can we raise the amount of ethical investments? The answer lies with us, the investors. People have to get convinced to invest in these ethical funds. The only way that people could get convinced, is by showing them the benefits of these investments. Ethical finance is about making profit while helping social and environmental issues.
A lot of people still believe that investing ethically leads to less profit, but Mark Robertson doesn’t share this view. He assures that you can make as much as profit as other special funds, you only have to find a good fund manager.

“…knowledge is not power, it is only your potential power…” – I believe this is true as well. When it comes to joint ventures, every owner probably knows which products and services complement their niche. And it makes a really shrewd businessman to see the potential in that basic fact. I guess the most successful ones; they were not the richest and smartest when they first started. But they were keener in using their resources.
