sriServices nominated for 'Sustainble City Award'
sriServices is delighted to have been nominated for a Sustainable City Award. This Corporation of London award is hugely prestigeous and having been nominated is a very welcome.
As you probably know - sriServices purpose is to get individual investor facing (retail) SRI punching its weight again. In order to acheive this we focus on the challenges advisers face by arming them with useful tools and support.
Being recognised as contributing to the sustainability agenda is wonderful - and hopefully bodes well for greater recognition of this market in 2015!
Fund EcoMarket tool developments & Survey
You may have noticed the snazzy new buttons and improved navigation on our sriServices home screen.
Our plans for early next year are however somewhat more ambitious... In addition to the 'adviser tool' format of Fund EcoMarket - we are planning a tabular form with additional fund manager information and support.
This has all been priced up and is feasible but it would be helpful if readers (advisers in particular) could comment on the new proposed features via this brief SurveyMonkey quesitonnaire.
F&C 'Responsible' range
Following their loss of the right to use the 'Stewardship' brand F&C has announced that their ethical & SRI options have been rebranded 'Responsible'.
This marks a fresh start for F&C and it is good news that they now have a brand they control and can invest in. See F&C press release.
My view: obviously the loss assets is not great for F&C, but this was always going to happen. Their CEO has however publicly expressed his support for SRI and the relationship with their new parent company sounds good - so the direction of travel looks positive.
