King & Shaxson began investing ethically in 2002, at a time when this approach to investing was well and truly on the fringe. How things have changed since then.
We have seen the explosion of interest in the world of responsible investing. With more information and choice about investments, investors are keen to see their savings and pensions align with their own values. For us, it has always been our focus to see the mighty power of the investment world harnessed for good.
In 2010, we created a range of model portfolios, which combined a sound investment process whilst at the same time reflecting client’s ethics by avoiding ‘sin stocks’ and investing in companies that finance solutions to the environmental and societal issues we face today.
This combination of applying a negative and a positive screen has served our clients well, and we are proud to celebrate our 10-year anniversary this year. Responsible investing with a track record!
