Investors come in all shapes and sizes, from the individual looking to put away a little money each month to businesses seeking an opportunity to speculate with a large financial outlay. And while the hope of monetary growth unites them all, we at Scott Fyffe Wealth Management know each investor will have their own, often very unique, opinions on where their money could and should be spent. In recent years, the growth of impact investing has highlighted the importance of people and businesses using their money to benefit the world around us.
Impact investments can be used to help a number of worthy strategies and causes while still seeking impressive financial returns. There’s a wide range of initiatives that can benefit from such an investment, including housing cooperatives, sustainable energy projects, technological development, responsible farming, small business start-ups and community groups. In short, any organisation that provides environmental or social benefits to employees, clients, customers and members of the local community could feasibly come under the impact investment banner.
And while there are many bodies which can attract well-meaning investors, there will be some industry sectors that will be avoided at all costs. They can include businesses which don’t benefit the community, have poor human rights records, encourage controversial governments, manufacture or distribute armaments, have interests in gambling or pornography, engage in deforestation or pollute the environment. If you’re thinking of becoming an investor, it’s reassuring to know your money will be used in a positive way, and won’t be used to benefit the wrong-doers.
The growth of impact investing has been remarkable in recent times, and it’s a trend that looks set to continue for a long time to come. More and more fund managers, private foundations, group pension funds and high street financial institutions are working hand in hand with organisations around the world which are dedicated to improvement, and with the help of Scott Fyffe Wealth Management you can do so as well. Impact investment, once perhaps seen as something on the fringe, is becoming increasingly mainstream now.

After many decades of damage to the planet and its resources, the world is finally waking up to the need to create a sustainable future. ESG investments offer a holistic approach, bringing you, the investor, an opportunity to be part of a better tomorrow for us and future generations, one that reflects the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Now, more than ever, it’s finally time to act.
Effective ecological investments must positively affect the local, national, and global stages. ESG investing aims to offer a pathway to potential financial growth while slowing and eventually stopping the disastrous impact of climate change. Identifying those companies that work for the greater good yet still produce attractive returns is a must for sustained betterment.
There’s more to disruptive innovation than figures at the bottom of a balance sheet. Newly created disruptive technologies can change how we all live and make the current status quo a distant memory in no time. These initiatives will be significant future money-makers, generating high-value returns for sustained periods.
Social responsibility and turning a profit are not mutually exclusive in the modern era. Investors can look for high-quality financial returns while supporting communities, reducing pollution, and encouraging renewable energy sources. Private investment in worthy strategies represents an excellent way to introduce fast-track improvements at home and worldwide.
The days when investors simply wanted greater and greater returns with no concern about impact are gradually disappearing. As well as wanting to turn a profit, they also want to know their money is making the world a better place. The most elective ESG investment teams work hard to monitor processes and measure successes of initiatives that mirror the aims of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Scott Fyffe Wealth Management Ltd are fully committed to the principles and practices of ethical investments. We work hand in hand with trusted partners to offer high quality investments in companies that support and encourage a wide range of initiatives that have a major impact on both local and international markets, communities and business sectors.
