Do your bit to support ethical investment research

Ethex and the Social Investment Research Council (SIRC) have set up a comprehensive survey in order to research attitudes towards ethical/positive investing and saving in the UK. This survey is the largest of its type, and goes into more detail than historic surveys on the subject. The aim is to understand much more about whom social investors are and what motivates them. Fuller details are below.

We are very pleased to be able to support their work by forwarding the questionnaire to our clients. We would be delighted if you could take the time (20mins approx.) to complete the questionnaire as best you can - within two weeks please - to help this valuable research.
