Green Investing Funds and Green Mutual Funds
In this post about green investing funds I’m going to give the breakdown on three of the most famous names in the green mutual funds business. I think these are probably the most reputable green growth funds to place my money in, but again its an individual choice based on risk evaluations. If your looking to invest in a green fund you can also take a look at my previous post about companies going green.

Winslow Green Fund
The Winslow Green Growth Fund is probably one of the most famous socially responsible investment funds. They look for “green” companies to invest in around the globe. The scale goes as follows: 3/4 of the investment in stocks and 1/4 in bonds. The fund consists of a wide range of companies of all sizes that are developing greener methods of operating.

Virgin Green Fund
Another green investment fund which concentrates in corporations that are utilizing renewable energy. Around 1/4 of its fund goes to water stocks and the rest is spread to the expansion of growing environmentally friendly companies. Most of the investments are limited to the US and Europe unlike winslow which covers most of the world.

Jupiter Ecology Fund
The fund has a good age factor to show off in its portfolio. Outperforming for over twenty years. Their primary focus are investments in corporations which are providing practical remedies to environmental problems.

Although Jupiter might be thought of as a mid size investment fund, Im pretty impressed with their record so far. When it comes to investing in funds its good to take a look at all the options before making a decision, and hopefully this post will help to make you a more informed investor.
