For ethical cash, go to Aberdeen
So said John Scott and Partners in last week's Guardian. According to the firm of independent financial advisers - damn, I love money talk - the best ethical place to invest your cash is in Aberdeen Asset Management's Ethical World fund. John and his mates recommend it on the grounds that it's shown some of the most impressive growth of any ethical fund and is best for the planet. It's rated 'dark green' which mean your money won't be invested in tobacco cos, environmentally dodgy outfits and anyone with a bad human rights' record. So why's Ethical World making so much cash? Mainly because it's primarily invested in tech companies such as Canon and Samsung (pictured) that are doing well and also have strong eco policies. To sign up, click over to Aberdeen's website. For a greener and more local investment - albeit without John's thumbs-up - put some money into UK wind turbines with Triodos Renewables. Its share issue ends on 14th October.
