Press Release Summary = Moneynet has issued ethical investment guide to help
consumers get to grips with the increasing complexity of socially responsible
personal finance products.

Press Release Body = Moneynet.co.uk, the UK’s most established personal finance
consumer information website, has published the latest edition in its series of
online product guides to help consumers get to grips with the increasing complexity
of personal finance products.

Continuing the success achieved by the previous credit card, mortgage, life
insurance and loan guides, Moneynet has issued a new guide to cover the subject of
ethical investment. With the number of ethical investors in the UK growing each
year alongside public awareness of pollution, fair trade, child labour, arms sales
and similar contentious issues, Moneynet aims to ensure consumers can make informed
decisions about their finances.

Ethical investing has gone from being a 'fringe' activity - previously seen as the
practice of tree-huggers and sandal-wearers - to a going concern that offers
clear-conscience alternatives for the full range of financial products including
mortgages, bank accounts, utilities, investments and pensions.

Moneynet’s latest guide aims to encourage and help consumers acknowledge and
understand “socially responsible investing”, as well as providing enlightenment on
the products available. Through information provision and access to ethical
financial product providers, consumers can take control over their personal finance
situation, making sensible financial decisions with a clear conscience. Moneynet
provides comparative information for savings and investments, credit cards, loans,
insurance, mortgages and utilities: giving consumers access to practical and ethical
choices on the different financial aspects of domestic life.

Richard Brown, Chief Executive of Moneynet.co.uk said “'there is a growing awareness
of these issues and we hope that our guide will help to answer some of the questions
that are frequently asked. As with all our guides, the Guide to Ethical Investing
is designed to help the consumer make the most of their money.'”

There are currently five guides available on the moneynet.co.uk website, covering
life insurance, credit cards, mortgages, loans and ethical investment. These are
set to complement the core financial comparison services available on Moneynet.
Further guides are due to be published later this year.
