4 of the best ethical investment platforms in the UK

There are a growing number of ethical investment platforms in the UK, offering customers socially responsible investing portfolios (SRIs) across a range of company stocks and ethical investment funds.

If you’re new to investing, I’d highly recommend the Wealthsimple investing masterclass; 10 short videos to turn you into a ‘financial genius’ in 45 minutes. They’re also pretty funny!

If you’re looking for pensions, check out the best UK sustainable pensions for 2022.

Update: Wealthsimple notifed customers in December 2021 of its withdrawal from the UK market. They still operate in other countries, but all 16,000 UK customers have now been moved to Moneyfarm.

Penfold

If, like me, you were a gutted Wealthsimple UK customer looking for an ethical alternative for a SIPP, check out Penfold – a pension provider with a dedicated sustainable portfolio.
