EIRIS, the sustainable investment research specialist, has estimated that the UK's green and ethical retail funds have now reached over £15bn, up from approximately £6bn ten years ago. The estimate is launched ahead of Good Money Week (18 - 24 October 2015), which aims to raise awareness of sustainable and responsible finance. Previously known as National Ethical Investment Week (NEIW), Good Money Week is co-ordinated by UKSIF – the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association.
Commenting on the estimate, Stephen Hine, Deputy CEO at EIRIS, said: "With continued consumer interest in global issues like climate change, human rights and equality, it is not surprising that consumers are keen to explore responsible finance. Leading financial product providers are developing products with responsible investment strategies for this growing market."
