Friends will also need to take note of the guidelines issued by Meeting for Sufferings for ethical considerations in the selection of investments. When the fund to be invested is small it is difficult to obtain the necessary spread of investment except by participation in a unit trust or an investment trust; there are several such trusts in which the underlying investments conform to specified ethical criteria but not all of them are acceptable under the Trustee Investments Act 1961. Further information about ethical investment can be obtained by subscribing to the Ethical Investment Research Service (EIRIS), whose address may be obtained from Quaker Finance & Property.
