How many of you have checked your pension funds recently?
No, not to depress yourself about how poorly they are performing (that seems 'guaranteed' these days!), but to see what ethical investment options are available.
It came to my mind since one of my myriad pension providers sent their annual ethical investment newsletter. They also annually survey, to see what the ethical issues really our in our minds, not just what they think they should be. Sounds quite good practice really.
Many of us with pensions in a portfolio of funds have flexibility to move our pot of gold around between different funds. We should use that luxury to favour ethical investments where we can, or at least take the option seriously.
To not do this is surely another example of talking about loving our neighbour, but not actually doing anything about it. Okay we probably can't be completely clean with our money (just about everything is tainted, it would seem), but maybe there are steps we can take, as part of 'living a life worthy of your calling'.
