    I'd suggest reading the prospectus to see what they say. In the past, they've employed a few negative SRI-ish screens. SRI/ESG funds are all so different; they just don't fit in a single box.

    Okay, they avoid tobacco and firearms. Different types I guess. Thanks
  • "social consciousness" is fine.... donate to a tree farm or a school, don't put your investment money in them...separate "social" from business
  • @ Tampabay: I agree with you 100%.
    Regards,
    Ted
