GÆIA was founded in 1993, by Brigid Benson, to
promote ethical investment & to be part of the growing movement to make
money move in a more ethical and environmentally effective
direction.
More than money can buy
With a number of ethical funds out-performing conventional unit linked funds,
it makes both financial as well as moral sense to invest in companies which are
planning ahead to create a better environment. In our experience, such
investments can be life-enhancing both for the recipients and for people
choosing to direct their money to drive genuine change.

For more information about our services:
We offer truly independent advice tailored to your needs, and
advise on a range of strategies to manage your money to meet your family's
income, investment and ethical goals.
We use ethical and environmental funds
offered by established companies with a good conventional performance track
record and whose ethical funds are strictly vetted.
We inform clients about the more ethical banks and building societies as well
as alternative, innovative investments which may be made for short-term high
financial reward but for longer term benefit to specific projects, communities
and the environment.
GÆIA is a non-denominational, multi-faith organisation. We welcome clients of
all faiths and spiritual paths who share a general concern for social justice,
tolerance and environmental responsibility and wish to include this in their
financial decisions.
