the sustainable, responsible and ethical investment information hub
January 6th, 2020
The following list is of the top individual filter searches carried out on Fund EcoMarket from 1 January to 31 December 2019.
This information is derived from Google Analytics, which recorded 34,087 filter options having been selected over the twelve month period.
This information showed the breadth of different issues people were interested in as the top few searches accounted for just over 3% of the total number searches with those towards the bottom of the table being just under 0.2% .
To comment on the significance of this I would suggest intermediaries (and others in the retail investment community) consider the following:
