Charles Stanley Direct
Customer recommend score of 85%
Platform fees are waived on socially responsible investments until July 2020. And it's easy too - there's a clear link from the homepage which takes you to a newly created and narrow shortlist of
7 SRI (Socially Responsible Investing) funds.
Interactive Investor
Customer recommend score of 70%
This platform has invested time in helping investors to understand the nuances of different shades of ESG investing. There are lists of sustainable funds along with a new ‘Ethical Growth’ portfolio if you want it all planned out for you.
Nutmeg
Customer recommend score of 82%
One of the first platforms or robo advisers to spend a lot of time really thinking about the detail of this, so credit for that! Nutmeg also makes it very easy for current investors to swap from a mainstream Nutmeg portfolio into the Socially Responsible equivalent - independent MSCI rankings make this more than just skin-deep.
PensionBee
Customer recommend score of 100%
They have a clear option for a ‘Future World’ plan which is clearly presented to customers, making it easy to engage with your pension as a vehicle for doing good. This Legal & General-managed fund focusses on a move to a lower carbon economy.
The Share Centre
Customer recommend score of 80%
Nominated for their clear content and easy categorisation of funds into several different Responsible Investment themes. Their fund lists are well worth a look no matter who you're with.
Wealthify
Customer recommend score of 85%
Their Ethical plans offer investors a clear path to invest their money into “a blend of environmentally and socially responsible investments”. Plus the website and app are easy and simple to navigate.
