Grow your wealth without compromising your values.
Ethical investing means putting your money into companies and funds that reflect what you care about — and steering clear of those that don't. It's built on the idea that returns and responsibility aren't mutually exclusive: you can grow your wealth while supporting businesses that treat people, the planet, and governance seriously.
How We Think About Ethical Investing
At Aylin Wealth, we help you translate your personal values into a practical investment strategy — one that still stays disciplined about risk, diversification, and long-term goals.
ESG Investing
Screening companies on Environmental, Social, and Governance factors, alongside traditional financial analysis. This typically includes:
- Carbon footprint
- Labour practices
- Board diversity
- Executive accountability
Socially Responsible Investing (SRI)
Excluding sectors an investor considers harmful — typically:
- Tobacco
- Weapons
- Gambling
- Fossil fuels
Impact Investing
Actively directing capital toward businesses solving a specific problem, such as:
- Clean energy
- Affordable healthcare
- Financial inclusion
With measurable social or environmental outcomes alongside financial return.
Faith-Based / Shariah-Compliant Investing
Investing according to religious principles. Shariah-compliant funds exclude:
- Interest-based finance (riba)
- Alcohol
- Gambling
- Tobacco
- Pork-related products
- Conventional insurance
- Adult entertainment
Screening also typically checks a company's financial ratios — for example, total debt can't exceed roughly a third of assets — to rule out businesses that are heavily reliant on interest-bearing debt, even if their core business is otherwise permissible.
Where This Stands Today
In India today, this space is smaller but growing — anchored by SEBI's BRSR disclosure norms for listed companies, the Nifty100 ESG index as a benchmark, a handful of dedicated ESG mutual funds, and a small set of Shariah-compliant funds for faith-based investors.
Internationally, frameworks like the UN PRI, the EU's SFDR, and TCFD climate disclosures have made ethical investing far more mainstream and better regulated.
