Investing Responsibly

The Economist called New Alternatives Fund the “greenest” fund in the United States.” (November 1989)  The Fund started trading in September 1982 and was the first mutual fund concentrating  on investing in renewable energy and energy conservation.

We seek to be affirmatively socially responsible by selecting companies that produce materials and provide services that benefit the environment and contribute to a sustainable economy. These include companies that operate to provide:

• renewable energy
• recycling and waste reduction
• clean water and air
• energy conservation
• natural and organic food

Our advisors believe that come what may to the economy, the areas in which we invest, such as renewable energy,  clean water and clean air, will continue to present opportunities. The Fund officers believe that as clean energy technologies grow and develop, they will become more cost effective and competitive with conventional fossil fuels.

The path is not continuous and there will be many bumps in the road.
But, we expect to do well.
