Ethical Investment Options
Ethical or socially responsible investment are terms to describe an investment fund where the principles of the fund influence which companies they choose to invest money in, or how they will use their power as a shareholder in such companies.
The Children's Mutual offer two different "ethical" investment funds:

Both of these Funds invest entirely in stockmarket based investments and are therefore classified as "higher risk".
