Socially Responsible Mutual Funds:
Financial Performance

Socially responsible (SRI) mutual funds use multiple strategies for investing in a better world. They screen out the least responsible companies or choose to invest in companies with better records on the environment and social issues. Then these funds encourage the companies they hold to increase their corporate responsibility by filing shareholder resolutions, voting their proxies in favor of resolutions, and/or dialoguing with management. We invite you to use this chart to learn more about the practices, performances and investment criteria of leading SRI funds.

The Mutual Fund Performance Chart displays all socially responsible mutual funds offered by members of our partner organization, the Social Investment Forum. This public tool is meant for individual investors to compare cost, financial performance, screens, and voting records of competing funds. All listed funds are open to new investors. Quick facts about SRI performance from the Social Investment Forum »
