In 1989, father-and-son duo Mac and Ross Knowles, saw a gap in the investment landscape and decided to fill it with something good - that was the humble beginning of Ethinvest. In 1997, Trevor Thomas joined the company, bringing a wealth of expertise to the growing venture. Ethinvest now works with over a thousand clients, managed by a diverse and talented team of more than 30 in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Northern Rivers and Adelaide.

 

In the early days, ethical investing options were limited, with only a few ethically managed funds available. Despite this, Ethinvest began creating thoughtful portfolios for clients tailored to their ethical preferences. Ethinvest now oversees $1.3 billion in assets across various ethical perspectives for a diverse range of clients across Australia.

​

Ethinvest has played a key role in kickstarting vital initiatives like the Responsible Investment Association Australasia, the Ethical Advisers' Co-op, and Australian Impact Investments; helping to transform the financial sector into one that mobilises capital for a better tomorrow.
