We all want to ensure we have a great future. Our future isn’t the only thing we need to consider though. What about the future of our kids, next generations and the world we’re living in? When we are thinking about our future savings and how we are looking after our finances, it’s time to start considering a brighter future for the world as well.

Save towards a brighter future for you and the world

Saving For Your Future

Looking towards a comfortable future is paramount for pretty much all of us. We want to ensure that we are going to be able to look after ourselves, enjoy live and be financially stable. Investing our money now means that we’ll likely find ourselves stable and secure further down the line. Planning and preparing for our futures is important, in a way we are able to do now. When we invest our cash, we often don’t know what is happening with it, aside from the percentage of interest it makes. What is your money going into, what businesses is it funding, which stocks and shares is it being used to purchase? 

 

The Environmental Impact

Many companies are making a negative environmental impact on our planet. Do you really want to be putting your money in stocks, shares and bank accounts which are causing that kind of impact on our world? Planning for your fabulous future but creating a problem for the planet isn’t something to be proud of. Fortunately, there are ways to plan for your future and help look after the world. Putting your money in a Sustainable Stocks and Shares ISA from Shepherds Friendly means you can invest in a way that matches your values. You can invest whilst acting responsibly and making a positive difference. 

Investing in your child’s future is important too. Now you can do that whilst making a positive impact on the world they’re going to grow up in. The Sustainable Junior ISA puts your money in sustainable companies that offer long-term growth, while making a positive difference to the planet. Both of these ISA options aim to make a positive difference to society. This is done by investing with companies that are driving social and economic development. Also in businesses leading the transition to a low carbon economy. Whilst, of course, aiming to achieve a positive return on investments. 

Know Your Investments

 

 
It is time to get to know your investments. You might have accounts you set up to plan for your own future but what are those accounts actually doing? Do you really know what your money is being invested in? Would it sit right with you knowing that your money is funding unsustainable businesses and those who are harming the planet that your grandchildren and great grandchildren will walk on? Ethical businesses, companies focusing on climate change, those who are campaigning for human rights. Your money can make a positive difference to society, whilst giving you a return.
 
By looking at the investments you have, you can save towards a brighter future for both you and the world. That way, everybody wins!
