Michael O'Brien, International Portfolio Manager with Australian Ethical Investments said at a seminar on 29 March 2007 that they currently manage just over $500 Million across four trusts and they aim to be managing more than $1 Billion by 2010. The focus of AEI is on investing in ‘highly ethical’ companies through using positive screens for finding companies involved in the renewable energy sector, the production of ‘natural food’, recycling and public/efficient transport providers, as well as excluding companies on several grounds, including uranium mining. According to O'Brien this screens out about 90% of the Australian market and has resulted in AEI seeking out overseas investments that meet its ethical criteria.[2]
