Ethex

Multiple choice knowledge test unnecessary, I failed it three times and most of the directors failed it also!! This will put many people off applying for shares. Two boxes to tick - Terms and conditions and I understand the risks etc is surely sufficient.

I have a variety of small investments through Ethex - all of them suit my ethics - I can make a return for my money whilst still feeling like my investment has benefits for community, or the environment or for those less fortunate. The information provided before you invest is substantial and comprehensive and this level of communication continues after investment. I would recommend.

Very pleased with current investment, decided to round the figure up with more shares. A slight problem that occurred was swiftly dealt with by the Gower Power staff!

The "quiz" to be able to start, at best seems ambiguous even though I fully understand any investment made is just a gamble and everything could be lost, and if you want to make that investment in a local community scheme that has just come to your attention tough luck it could be too late. So I don't think Ethex is good for community funding, more like a scheme to make some fail?

We use Ethex to invest Blue Patch's surplus revenues to benefit communities and the green economy nationally. Their principles and service are beyond question - they are an outstanding organisation! A social enterprise too we applaud and share their values. bluepatch.org is the UK's Sustainable Directory and Hub.
