The recent developments on the global stock markets inevitably impact the share prices of the companies invested within the Triodos Impact funds. Triodos Investment Management is monitoring the situation closely and, as normal, looking at both the financial and sustainability performance of the companies in the fund portfolios to ensure they continue to meet the financial and sustainable objectives of the funds. We are clear with all customers that the value of investments can go down as well as up and that investing should be considered for the long term.

Phishing is a common type of internet fraud. Phishing emails are designed to appear as though they are from a legitimate source, but intend to steal personal information that can be used to access your account.

Do not respond to any email that asks for any information in relation to your internet banking log in details. If you have received a suspicious email, do not respond and call us if you need any further information.

Our Contact Team are available from 8am-6pm Monday-Friday, and 10am-4pm on weekends for fraud-related enquiries only. Outside of these hours you can request a call back using our automated system. Our Contact Team will call you back as close to the time you request as is operational possible. Alternatively please email us at contact@triodos.co.uk from the registered email address we hold for you and mark it urgent in the subject line.

Screen scraping happens when you allow a third party to log into your computer while you are using it, so they see what you are doing and can copy the data on the screens you are viewing. This is a way for third parties to be able to get access to your payment data or account overview.

Triodos Bank is not in favour of this practice, as it potentially compromises the integrity of your own computer and your passwords.

Remember, to invest in the Triodos Impact Funds you:

• must be a UK resident
  
• should see your investment as long term (5-10 years), because it can go down in value as well as up, and you may not get back what you invest. Income is variable and not guaranteed.
• understand your total return is subject to the euro-sterling exchange rate, because the Triodos impact funds are operated in euros and quoted in sterling.
• should ask an independent financial advisor if  you're unsure which investment is right for you. Triodos Bank doesn’t offer financial advice.

You should also read the important information needed to make an informed decision about your investment:

• Terms and conditions
  
• Supplementary Information Document
  
• Addendum to the T&Cs and SID
  
• Prospectus
  
• Key Investor Information Documents:
  • Triodos Global Equities Impact Fund KR-Cap
    
  • Triodos Global Equities Impact Fund KR-Dis
    
  • Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund KR-Cap
    
  • Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund KR-Dis
    

You can open a Triodos Ethical Junior Cash ISA account, and transfer the funds from your Right Start Saver into it, subject to the Junior ISA allowance of £9,000 for the 2020/21 tax year.

Cash cannot be paid in to the Triodos Personal Current Account at the moment. However we are in discussion with a number of providers to investigate if we can offer this service in the future as we understand from customer feedback that this is a service that some customers would like us to offer.

We offer two impact investment funds - the Triodos Global Equities Impact Fund and the Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund. Both 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.

We’ll write to you one month before your bond matures, asking you where you’d like your funds to go. If you have internet banking you will be able to make your choice online and can decide to either reinvest or transfer your matured funds to another account. If we don’t hear from you before your bond matures, we’ll open a Triodos Saver account on your behalf and write to let you know. There will always be opportunities for you to reinvest your money with Triodos, and we hope you choose to do so.

Yes.

You can open a Triodos Innovative Finance ISA if you are resident in the UK for tax purposes and are over 18 years of age.

You can save any amount between £500 and £1,000,000.

We can pay it on the first of each month into an account you choose when you apply, or we pay it annually each January and at the end when the bond matures.
