Our take
Ethic is capitalising on two major trends: the democratisation of the financial system through FinTechs, and the growing awareness among investors about the social impact and costs of where they are putting their money.
Ethic help investors to understand and define their values, gain transparency into their current portfolio, and engage with the real-world impact their investments are having. This makes it easier to ensure their investments match with their personal ethics while still yielding solid returns.
Although the company faces competition in the ethical investing space from the likes of Algbra, Ethic's product stands out with its user-friendly design. The company has attracted significant investment and is smartly poised to weather any changes in investor appetite in the years to come.
