Can anyone recommend some green investment funds?

I've done a little research and found these:

https://www.abundanceinvestment.com/
https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/money-finance/shopping-guide/ethical-investment-funds
https://ethicalinvestment.org.uk/for-private-investors/

Not used them yet but will do some more scrutiny and report back.

What specifically are you looking to invest in or avoid?

Funds that will help mitigate climate change.

So avoiding fossil fuels, promoting green energy etc.

Have a look at:-

WHEB Sustainability
Pictet Clean Energy
Jupiter Ecology
UBAM Positive Impact
Gravis Clean Energy
Triodos Pioneer Impact
Virgin Climate Change
Royal London Sustainable World Trust
Liontrust Sustainable Future Global Growth
Castlefield B.E.S.T. Sustainable Portfolio
EdenTree Amity International
Aviva Stewardship International

There are others, such as Janus Henderson Global Responsible Managed and Standard Life UK Ethical, but I'm not sure if they're more 'greenwashing'. What you should do is:-

- Once you've picked an investment platform check which funds are available. I'd generally recommend AJ Bell, but it depends on how much you invest and whether that's a lump sum or a regular payment.

- Read the objectives of the funds, possibly some of the other literature, charges and check the factsheets to see what they actually invest in.

- Use something like Trustnet to see how the ones you've narrowed it down to have performed.

I have had about £10k in Abundance for a couple of years.

They have been very professional, but the projects are not without risk: read the brochures before sticking money in.

There is also a little annoying how the returns are made available in dribs and drabs that require manual re-investment or withdrawal (and the withdrawal paperwork is a bother when using an ISA).

The returns have been as advertised, so far. Some of the investments are very long-term, though (ignoring the secondary market - no idea how usable that is), so ask me again in 20 years.
