Ethical fund comparison

The choice of ethical and environmental funds is greater than ever before with almost 60 funds to choose from within the Hargreaves Lansdown Vantage Service. Each fund applies different criteria with some fund managers stricter than others.

Investments that match your ethical and environmental needs

Use this search facility by ticking the issues that you would like the fund manager to address, then use the button to refine the fund list. Our search engine will show you a shortlist of funds and you can click to see each fund's stated ethical policy. There are positive and negative criteria and you can search on any mix. Please remember not all funds apply both techniques.

TIP: The more boxes you tick, the shorter the list of potential funds. If after searching no funds appear, try broadening your search by selecting less boxes.
