For those of you out there who are interested in investing your money in social and environmentally conscious organizations, here are a few to check out.
- Clean Edge works to help investors, industry, and society understand and profit from clean energy. They offer a NASDAQ Clean Edge U.S. Index with a list of a couple dozen green options for your investment dollars.
- New Alternatives Fund invests in renewable energy, check a list of the investments to know what you are buying in to. I checked out their ticker, NALFX, and it has been on a steady rise so they must be doing something right aside from just a nice fuzzy feeling.
- Green Century Balanced Fund actively seeks out competitive returns while still being eco-friendly. Unfortunately both of their equity funds GCEQX and GCBLX seems to be a bit to balanced for my liking.
- PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio is also into renewable energy companies, check out their commodities here.
We’d love to hear from readers if you have more tips out there for energy friendly picks.
Cheers,
