The purpose of the paper was to analyze the phenomenon of ethical investing and to evaluate the level of development of the market for this type of investments in selected member countries of the European Union. The study covered 10 countries with different degrees of development of the SRI market. The research was focused on two main areas: first – asset management approach in the context of ethical investments and second – the availability of this type of investment for a wide range of individual investors, dependent on the level of development of open-end ethical investment funds segment. Studies have shown that despite similarities among countries in some areas, there is no universal standard that would determine the shape of the SRI market. This fact indicates the importance of local institutional conditions. Compared to other countries, the market in Poland stood out a low value of assets under management of ethical investment, but also the highest growth rates of these assets. In addition, the segment of open ethical investment funds was underdeveloped, with moderate degree of heterogeneity in conjunction with the small size of the average fund. In Poland, as in most other countries, equity funds dominated in terms of numbers, and fixed income funds – in terms of assets under management. The low level of development of the domestic market of ethical investments is largely due to the existing system of institutional factors, which in contrast to the solutions found in countries with mature SRI market, does not create incentives for this type of investment.
