The Big Exchange is adding nine new funds to its platform, including offerings from asset managers Janus Henderson and Federated Hermes.
The addition of new funds comes after The Big Exchange saw its customer base grow 300% over the past year, citing the increasing demand for ethical ISAs.
The nine additions include four funds from Janus Henderson: Janus Henderson Global Sustainable Equity, Janus Henderson UK Responsible Income, Janus Henderson Global Responsible Managed and Janus Henderson Sustainable Future Technologies.
They also include the Federated Hermes Impact Opportunities fund and the EdenTree Responsible & Sustainable Short Dated Bond fund.
The Triodos Equity Impact, Triodos Pioneer Impact and the Triodos Sterling Bond Impact funds make up the nine.
The new funds are being added to the platform’s offering of 65 independently-rated, positive impact funds, which are managed by 18 asset managers.
Jill Jackson, CEO of The Big Exchange, said: “The nine new funds on The Big Exchange will broaden the choice for our customers to invest in independently rated ethical, sustainable, responsible, ESG and impact funds – and aim to really make their money count for more.”
According to The Big Exchange, around 40% of its customers are first-time investors and approximately 50% of its investors are women.
“Research from Nordea Asset Management shows that making your lifetime’s investments more sustainable can have 27x more impact in reducing your carbon footprint than giving up flying or going vegan,” Jackson added.
“And if women invested at the same rate as men, there would be at least an additional $3.22 trillion invested worldwide – and women are more likely to pick investments that have a positive impact.”
