Nowadays the need for an ethical and socially responsible approach to finance appears increasingly evident, yet the sphere of ethical finance does not have the success that one could imagine. This work reflects on the possible causes of this lukewarm or just partial response to ethical finance by investors and does so using the paradigm of methodological individualism as an explanatory tool, focusing in particular on the issues of individual responsibility and personal freedom.
