What it is
A range of tax-efficient, ethical investments
 

7.4
Editors' Score

What you need to know: Norwich Union 'Green' ISA

We like:
The variety of funds; the strong investment team
We don't like:
That it could be confusing picking the right fund to pop in your ISA; that the funds can only be accessed through an independent financial advisor (IFA)
SmartPlanet judgement:
This wide range of green and ethical investments is impressive, with the portfolio concentrating in companies reacting responsibly to climate change. Investors can't access the funds, however, without an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA), which we think may deter some. Performance-wise, it depends which funds you pick, really.
