What is the Innovative Finance ISA?
The Ethex Innovative Finance ISA (IF ISA) is offering people a chance to change the way they think about their investments. It allows you to invest with the aim of growing your money tax-free while helping to make a positive impact on society and the environment.
So, whether you're new to ISAs or looking to diversify your investment portfolio, the Ethex IF ISA offers a unique opportunity to invest directly in projects that align with your values.
What is an Innovative Finance ISA?
An IF ISA is a tax-free investment account that lets you invest in peer-to-peer lending or debt-based investments, helping businesses and social enterprises to grow. Currently, on Ethex, you can invest in these opportunities from as little as £50, making it an accessible way to invest to do good.
The potential for tax-free returns and direct impact
The IF ISA offers the potential for tax-free returns, which is an attractive feature. But the appeal doesn’t end with tax benefits. Unlike traditional investment options like Cash ISAs or Stocks & Shares ISAs, with an IF ISA, you have total control over where your money goes and the impact it will create.
Investors can choose to fund projects that have a direct, measurable impact on people and the planet. For example, you could help fund solar panels and sustainable education programmes for UK schools or help people who are locked out of traditional credit secure affordable finance, avoiding unscrupulous high-interest lenders.
Every investment you make through the EthexIF ISA lets you see where your money is going. With Ethex you can be assured that your funds are being used to support ethical projects that meet rigorous impact and transparency standards.
A greener investment alternative
In a world where “greenwashing” is a growing concern—where companies claim to be environmentally friendly but may not actually be making a meaningful impact—the IF ISA provides clarity and certainty. By investing directly into businesses and initiatives you believe in, you cut out the uncertainty associated with traditional fund-based investments, which might invest in companies with questionable practices.
Many traditional investment options, especially those offered by large financial institutions, continue to fund industries that contribute to environmental damage or social injustice. With the Ethex IF ISA, you have the power to invest directly in projects that support a cleaner, fairer future for all.
How does the IF ISA work?
It’s simple to get started with an Ethex IF ISA. First, you need to open an account on the platform, and from there, choose from our range of investment opportunities.
Once you’ve made your investment in an IF ISA eligible project, any returns are paid tax-free. The amount of return depends on the success of the individual projects or businesses you’ve supported, but your investment is directly tied to initiatives that are actively helping to combat climate change, reduce poverty, and build stronger communities.
Tax-free transformation for all
Investing in an IF ISA is more accessible than many people might realise. You can start with as little as £50—perfect for those who want to dip their toes into impact investing or start small with a view to growing their portfolio over time. This makes it easier for people of all financial backgrounds to get involved without needing to commit large sums up front.
Use your allowance to make a difference
Whether you’re investing primarily to target a financial return or to support projects that align with your values, the IF ISA is a powerful tool. By investing in the Ethex IF ISA, you’re investing in a better future.
As we approach the tax year end, now is the perfect time to consider how you can make use of your £20,000 annual tax-free allowance. We encourage you to visit the platform to browse the current opportunities. Start the new year by investing with purpose and making your money do good.
