Dear John,
Gender Equality Funds, As You Sow’s gender-lens investing tool, now includes a first-of-its-kind report card to help you align your investments with your values. It grades each fund on six environmental and social issues, in an easy-to-read format.
For the first time, you can easily see if your mutual funds or 401(k) are invested in:
- Companies with poor gender equality policies
- Fossil fuels, pipelines, oil field services, coal-fired utilities
- Rainforest-destroying palm oil, beef, soy, timber, rubber, paper/pulp
- Assault weapons, ammunition, cluster munitions, nukes
Traditional metrics like financial returns are still there — you can search for mutual funds and ETFs that earn high returns and high grades. And, each fund is compared to benchmark indexes like the S&P 500 on financial performance and sustainability results.
You may be surprised at how many funds get an “A” for gender equality and outperform the market!
If you know what you own, you can invest in the future you want. Check it out at investyourvalues.org.
Be sure to WATCH + SHARE our new Gender Equality Funds’ explainer video on Facebook or Vimeo. Together, we can move the needle on gender equality in the workplace.
For a just and sustainable future,
Andrew Behar and the whole As You Sow team
p.s. As You Sow’s Invest Your Values suite of six online mutual fund screening tools are always free to use, at investyourvalues.org.
