  1. I am looking in a fund that will invest in only FUSION ENERGY. It only going to be 10 to 30 years before it’s profected. If you think Tech is big just wait. Solar and wind will be gone, Coal will stay in the ground.

    • This list focuses on funds that have the majority of their holdings in Clean/Alternative energy focused stocks. Green Century funds include stocks from all sectors, with a focus on environmental leaders in each. For example, here are the top five holdings of the Green Century Balanced fund:

      Alphabet, Inc., Class A 2.99%
      MasterCard, Inc., Class A 2.11%
      Microsoft Corporation 1.95%
      Cigna Corporation 1.81%
      Apple, Inc. 1.60%

      So the fund may be green, but it has little to do with energy, be that energy green, alternative, clean, or otherwise.

    • Have not looked at them yet, but there do seem to be a lot of new investment platforms that promise to be green and have many similarities to mutual funds… I’ve been thinking about a comparison article on all of the ones I can find. Perhaps we need a new category for these sorts of financial platforms.

      • I did a bit more homework on Swell. It appears they’re a sort of “robo-broker” service, buying and selling stocks for the account-holder in accordance with the decisions of a mutual-fund-style advisor. Reviews say that as that kind of service goes, Swell is very good at the SRI game, but is kind of expensive and offers very little human interaction.

  2. Winslow Green Solutions should be removed from the list, as they have gone out of business.

    In fact, they did so in 2010, so I’m not sure how they made it onto the list in the first place.
