Ethical Investment Week 2022 is an opportunity for Australians and New Zealanders to learn more about working with an adviser to invest in line with your ethics. #EthicalInvestWk

Ethical Investment Week
3 October - 9 October 2022

Each year, Ethical Investment Week highlights the objectives and benefits of ethical investments and advice. ​

​Co-ordinated by the Ethical Adviser's Co-op, a group of leading expert ethical advisers, the week’s purpose is to connect investors with advisers who are specialists in the ethical space – so you can ensure your investments are best suited to your beliefs, attitudes and ethics.

2022’s theme is ‘You & Your Ethical Adviser’​

As ethical investment becomes increasingly mainstream, instances of what financial market regulators have called “misleading marketing, poor product design and other types of ‘green-washing’” are rising. For the discerning investor, this means finding authentic ethical investments can prove a challenge.

For its ninth year, Ethical Investment Week will focus on how you and your adviser can work together to genuinely do well and do good.

From lobbying to shareholder activism, developing research to providing feedback for fund managers, Ethical Investment Week will explore the behind-the-scenes work undertaken by ethical advisers - examining the ways in which these specialists can help you invest in line with your values.

​
