Ethical Investment & Banking

Ethical Investment

Bangor University's investment portfolio is made up of donations that have been given to the University over many years to fund specific items. The portfolio is now managed by CCLA with the transfer from our previous investment manager, UBS, taking place in September and October 2025.

The University’s portfolio is invested in the CCLA COIF Charities Ethical Investments Fund. This fund was chosen as it aligns with the University’s overall investment policy which is shown below.

Bangor University does not invest in controversial businesses, such as:

  • Weapons/Armaments
  • Alcohol
  • Gambling
  • Tobacco
  • Adult Entertainment

We also do not invest in fossil fuels. In this way Bangor University contributes to a Globally Responsible Wales - Bangor University’s Declaration on Fossil Fuel

As our investments are in the pooled CCLA fund we do not choose individual investments. We regularly meet with CCLA to discuss the mix of investments and the investment performance data. >
