Fund EcoMarket filter searches during first half of 2026

The following is a list of the top 50 filter searches carried out by users of our Fund EcoMarket tool during the first half of 2026.

We would normally share only the top 30 (with non partners), but as that group is currently so dominated by core/basic ‘identification’ type searches –  and weapons related options – we have taken the decision to extend the list to give a broader sense of the ethical, social and environmental issues that interest our users.

This list continues to illustrate the breadth of information that is needed when searching for potentially suitable investments in this area.   Both conventional core financial and sustainability information are vital. (We do not carry investment analysis / performance type information).

Sustainability specific options of high interest to our users during the first half of 2026 include:

• the FCAs SDR labels (which I have put in blue) . These are subject to the regulators rules.
• Our in house SRI Styles, (in orange). These remain popular as they point to the core issues and approaches adopted by strategies, and work with our Stylefinder questionnaire .

Alongside these we see (increasing) interest in weapons/armaments related filters, tobacco exclusions, the exclusion of core climate change nasties and animal welfare options – with core social issues a little lower down the list.

Once again the more ‘positive’ options do not appear to be cutting through.

Readers should note that alongside armaments exclusions related screens  our database offers users the option to find strategies that ‘do not exclude’ armaments manufacturers. This came in at number 64.
