Ethical Futures was founded in September 2005 by Julian Parrott and Martin Wight. They kept noticing the same problem - what their clients believed in didn’t always match up with how their money was being invested. And so, Ethical Futures was born.
From the very beginning, our guiding mission has been to help people ‘make your money change your world’. That means more than just numbers on a page. It’s about helping our clients build personal financial plans that reflect their goals whilst ensuring their investments support a better world. From clean energy and social housing to education and health, we’ve always believed your money can do good for the world whilst performing well for you.
Ethical finance can sometimes feel like a mystery, full of jargon and hidden complexity. One of our core goals has always been to demystify it. That’s why we publish white papers, write weekly blog posts and speak at conferences and on podcasts. Through these mediums we can make financial knowledge accessible.
Although we’ve had our ups and downs over the last two decades, through it all one thing has never changed. We’ve always had our clients’ trust and support. Some have been with us from the very start, growing with us through every challenge and success. We’re proud that our commitment to ethics isn’t a slogan, it’s integral to the way our business runs.
Recently, one of our co-founders, Martin Wight, retired from giving advice due to ill health and this has prompted us to look at our own future. We want to make sure that we are able to preserve the heart of what makes Ethical Futures special whilst ensuring that our team and clients continue to thrive for decades to come.
