What is 'good' investing?

Essentially, it means investing with the objective of "doing good", whilst aiming for a financial return. There is a range of options available, covering different values.

• Ethical investing - excluding companies based on their involvement in, for instance, tobacco, gambling or those that pollute the environment.
• Sustainable & responsible investing (SRI) - primarily focuses on measuring a company’s approach to managing sustainability factors.
• Impact investing - investing in companies, organisations and funds with the intention of those companies generating positive social and environmental impacts, through their products / services or business strategies, alongside seeking financial returns.
