Trustees Duties and Powers and Investment

Introduction

People invest their savings in the future thinking, looking for specific objectives such as providing for the retirement years, buying a house, children's education etc... A growing number of people want to invest these investments in the future of society, the environment, the world. These people are the center of ethical investments, also called social responsibility.

Ethical investments combine the desire of investment growth, financial goals with personal values ??of the investor who wants to invest in a better, more just. The most interesting aspect of the ethical investment philosophy is that each person has a different view on values. The importance and hierarchy of them is personal and different from one person to another, from one institution to another. Some investors are primarily concerned about the environment, other is the employment of the employees of the companies, others worry about the damage of certain products in society as snuff, weapons, alcohol, or are requesting principles and religious values ??etc. There are different approaches to the ethical investor, reflecting the diversity of humanity.

However, the trustees failed the objective regardless of the facts that they did or did know about the places they made their investments. In addition, the trustees were fully liable to perform the obligations set by the settler of trust who wished to invest in ethical fair trades and saving accounts, which could possibly earn him a good future for his grandchild Sarah. Now that the invested money is questioned regarding ethical investments made by the trustees, Bruce who is the settler finds disappointment and establishes an argument that the investment is not made in ethical places, whereas, it was obligatory for the trustees to invest the money as per the requirements of the settler. Although there were no clause, which could justify the fact that could represent the settler's thoughts but the obligations were clear at the time of appointing the trustees (Caillier, 2011, pp. 232).
