FAQs
We offer three impact investment funds - the Triodos Global Equities Impact Fund, the Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund and the Triodos Sterling Bond Impact Fund. All the Impact Funds are available in two different share classes, distribution and capitalisation.
The minimum initial investment per Impact Investment Fund is £1,000, and the minimum top up amount is £500 per fund.
The minimum holding amount is £500 per share class. This means that your initial investment must be at least £1,000 per impact investment fund and £500 per share class. In addition to this, you are not able to sell part of your holding and leave a positive balance of below £500, and you will either need to sell your entire holding in that share class or if applicable a smaller amount.

You can switch between funds and share classes by completing a fund switch form.
A fund switch is when you sell your holding in one fund or share class and buy back another. For example, if you hold the Triodos Global Equities Impact Fund and want to switch to the Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund you should download and complete the fund switch form. This will instruct us to sell your holding in the Triodos Global Equities Impact Fund and buy back the Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund.
We don’t charge for carrying out this instruction and the switch takes place at the same valuation point, however you must still meet the minimum investment amount of £1,000 and minimum top up amount of £500.
If you would like to switch, please ensure you have read the relevant Key Investor Information Document (KIID) which can be found under Key Documents.
Please note, when selling your holding outside of an ISA you will realise a capital gain or loss. Most individuals have a capital gains allowance of £12,300 (for the 2020/21 tax year), below which there is no charge on gains. If you happen to make a capital loss this can be used to offset future capital gains.

You can use your ISA allowance by 'wrapping' your existing impact investment funds in our Ethical Stocks & Shares ISA, this is also known as a Bed and ISA. Within the Ethical Stocks & Shares ISA you benefit from no further tax on income and no capital gains tax. The benefits of an ISA depend on your individual circumstances and tax rules may change in the future.
To wrap your existing holding in an ISA it must be sold and repurchased. We do not charge for the sale or repurchase, but you must adhere to the minimum investment amount of £1,000 and the minimum top up amount of £500 per fund.
Please note, when selling your holding outside of the ISA wrapper you will realise a capital gain or loss. Most people have a capital gains allowance of £12,300 (for the 2020/21 tax year), below which there is no charge on gains. If you happen to make a capital loss this can be used to offset future capital gains.
If you would like to wrap your holding in the Ethical Stocks & Shares ISA please complete our online application form if you don’t currently have an Ethical Stocks & Shares ISA, or download and print off the Ethical Stocks & Shares ISA Top Up form if you are an existing Ethical Stocks & Shares ISA customer.
