A number of banks are looking to improve their online offerings - not just in terms of online trading abilities, but also in terms of online investor education. And I have to say that a recently launched website, by ABN Amro, is particularly interesting.
ABN Amro Eco Markets provides investors with some pretty neat info. The website also shows the growing interest in socially responsible investing - a trend we noted some months back.

Socially responsible investment (SRI) assets under management broke through the EUR1 trillion mark at the end of 2006 representing 10% to 15% of total European funds under management, according to the European Social Investment Forum (Eurosif).
This increased demand for SRI solutions is now mirrored in the structured products market as heightened awareness is persuading more institutions to boost their product range and prepare their first offerings.
ABN Amro is not the only provider to push some interesting themes, but, to me at any rate, its informative website shows that it really is at ease with the themes in question.
If your bank has a similar website I'd like to know about it...
