Thank you for your kind feedback, we'll continue working on finding climate-friendly companies and funds that are building a better future.
Great app.
Great app that promise to invest in sustainable company only. It is currently rare to find such thing in the UK. It is easy to use, and well explained. Customer service replies promptly in case of questions or issues as well.
The only thing is that it would be good to have a more diverse way of investing on top of the ISA.

Hi, thank you for your great review! We're busy working on new products to help make climate impact investing easier, including pensions and Junior ISAs. Watch this space!
The App is good and simple to use but 1 year returns disappointing
The App is good and simple to use. Currently disappointed with the returns as showing a 1 year decline of 2.5% vs. a FTSE 100 gain of 13.9%.
I am prepared to take the long view and accept a lower return for ethical Investing but will be checking out the performance of other ethical funds.

We're definitely less than pleased that polluting fossil fuels are generating record-breaking returns at the moment, but we firmly believe that the future will be shaped by sustainable companies. Glad to see you're with us!

Hi Henry, Yes, you're definitely making a difference! In fact, you can find out precisely how much impact in CO2 saved and clean energy generated you've achieved so far - just check your impact in-app.
Really not worth having this
Really not worth having this, disappointed to no end.
Was hoping to see some sort of a stable yearly return which in time grows but am just a about breaking even.
Looking at energy and green companies stocks hike for the last few years this should have been a sure thing. Not expecting miracles just a decent return.

Hi Yuval,
Thank you for flagging your concerns to us. We're keen to discuss this with you - would you give us a call?
Indeed, clean energy and mobility generally performed well last year, but due to volatility in the markets, the past few weeks have been far from ideal for many investors. Alongside the ongoing impact of inflation, rising energy prices and the prospect of interest rate hikes, geopolitical uncertainty caused by the Ukraine situation means markets are still volatile. And you know, investing always comes with risk, so the value of your investments can fluctuate.
Our portfolios are curated by our in-house investment team with a mid- to long-term strategy in mind, and we continue to believe that climate-focused investments can deliver both financial returns and climate impact.
Our team are happy to discuss further with you on 020 3856 8441, or you can email us on support@clim8invest.com
With appreciation

Disappointing so far
Update: Thanks for your response to my review. I did expect some ups and downs with this investment and intend to just leave my money there for a few years to see how it goes. I am not tempted to put any more money in though. I did study the previous performance before investing but the losses I am seeing so far are way in excess of any previous dips in performance. I originally invested £500 on 15th November and another £500 on 20th December. The current value of my investment is £888.35 which is showing as a time weighted loss of 12.41% in just over 2 months. I'm going to stop checking my investments performance for a while but is things carry on like this there won't be an opportunity for long term investment because the money will all be gone before a year is up.
I had some money I made from matched betting which I can easily afford to lose so I thought I would take a punt on the clim8 adventurous portfolio. I invested £1000 about 2 months ago and in those 2 months there has only been 2 days when my balance has been over £1K (and then only by pennies). The current value of my £1K investment is £970.61. It is great to know that my money is helping to invest in a greener future but from a financial point of view it is not looking very promising so far. Looking at the factsheet for this portfolio it looks like I chose to invest just as this portfolio hit it's worst performing period this year. Hopefully things will improve over the long term. I found actually depositing money to be quite a slow process. You have to make a payment to another company and then it appears in your clim8 account 2 or 3 days later.

Thank you for your review and for investing through the Clim8 app. You are right, new deposits typically become visible the next working day, but our team is working hard to roll out an improved version very soon.
Our portfolios are designed with long-term growth in mind. With Clim8, you invest in scalable climate solutions in areas such as green energy, sustainable food and clean mobility, so your portfolio is built considering both financial performance and climate impact. As you’ll know, investing comes with ups and downs, but we’re proud to have an in-house investment team who continually review and optimise every portfolio. Do check out our interactive performance charts on our website to see how well Clim8 portfolios have performed since inception.
These guys know their stuff!
It's been a pleasure to invest through Clim8Invest.
One of the things I'd been struggling with was knowing which companies are greenwashing and which ones are actually moving the needle against climate change. Clim8 sorts this out. Their experienced investment team only select the best of the best. Their app is fabulous. Their reporting regular and extensive. As that's not all, the returns are impressive. I couldn't dream to put my money anywhere else!
