Personal Finance Show: When ethical funds aren't so ethical

Ethical funds might just surprise you. They can pay higher income than you'd expect and generate healthy returns. However, they might invest in stocks you're not so keen on too... This week's Personal Finance Show takes a look at when ethical funds aren't so ethical and looks at why some of them are outperforming.The team also tackles how to beat miserly interest rates by moving away from cash and into the market and also looks at why investment trust IPOs are back in fashion. Deputy personal finance editor Kate Beioley is joined by Andrew Summers, head of fund research at Investec Wealth and Emma Agyemang, Investors Chronicle personal finance writer.
