For those under 40, this splits down into an average of 35 percent socially conscious investments and 65 percent more traditional investments. Portfolios of those above 40 look quite different, with just under a fifth (19 percent) of investments being social and 81 percent traditional.

This suggests that as much as £233 billion ($352 billion) could already be invested in the U.K. with the aim to achieve both social and financial returns.
