This website provides information about ethical and socially responsible investment. Any use of such information is the exclusive responsibility of the user.
While the EIRIS Foundation and EIRIS promotes investment in accordance with ethical principles, this website contains no information on the way, or on how rigorously, the ethical policies of different financial service providers are actually applied and should not be taken as an endorsement, or relative endorsement, of any particular investment fund, investment product, or investment fund manager.
The EIRIS Foundation does not and cannot provide financial advice. Any prospective investor in any financial product should obtain full information from the investment fund manager, an independent financial adviser, or other sources.
The EIRIS Foundation strongly recommends that independent financial advice is taken before any investment is entered into.
There is risk involved in acquiring or holding any investment. In every case its value may decrease or increase. Investments should only be chosen on the basis of a balanced and considered judgement taking full account of the circumstances of the prospective investor and other relevant factors. If a prospective investor wishes to apply ethical criteria to their choice of investment, this should not be to the exclusion of a full consideration of the financial aspects of the relevant investment.
