SRI Services: Fund EcoMarket is now available as an App
SRI Services is delighted to announce the launch of our new Fund EcoMarket App, which is available for free both in iOS (Apple) and Android (Google etc) formats.
This new tool, the first of its kind, allows you to research retail sustainable, responsible and ethical funds quickly and easily so that they can be matched to your clients individual needs.
The new App format can help free up your main screen, allow you to look at funds SRI strategies whilst ‘on the go’, or simply make finding the fund tool easier.
The App is free to use and open to all – but designed to be used by UK financial services intermediaries.
You can download the App by searching ‘Fund EcoMarket’ in your regular App directory.
What is on the App?
The App is very similar to the Fund EcoMarket online fund tool – carrying all the same fund information.
All relevant ‘sustainable, responsible and ethical’ funds (that SRI Services are aware of) are listed, with partner funds shown first. There are around 100 ESG related filter options alongside extensive ‘More Info’ on individual funds – all supplied directly by fund managers.
The format is however slightly different as the stacked filter format and supporting text helps steer users through the process of finding funds that match individual client needs.
To help investment professionals with the necessary record keeping the App also allows users to email their search results to themselves (or whoever you wish).
Why an App?
SRI Services founder Julia Dreblow explains…
“Put bluntly – putting Fund EcoMarket into an App format builds on our core purpose which is to make building sustainable, responsible and ethical issues into fund selection and advice processes as easy as possible – so that these funds can grow as rapidly as possible.
Given growing climate change, sustainability and social concerns it has never been more important to empower intermediaries and others to make better use of sustainable investments and the many diverse fund strategies that are designed to meet clients individual ESG related opinions. Cracking that nut is an essential part of the #BuildBackBetter puzzle.”
