  • Investment
DEF

An approach to stock exchange investment in which shares or bonds are bought only in companies which satisfy certain ethical standards, for example, not having discriminatory employment policies, not carrying out research on animals, not trading with countries which have oppressive regimes, not manufacturing armaments.

CONT

For those whose millions are a millstone around the neck comes a new Yuppie buzzphrase to take the guilt out of greed - conscience investment. Advisers who build investment portfolios not on the basis of how much you'll make, but on how you can live with yourself when you get the cheque, are reporting an upsurge of interest and an inflow of money.
