Some mutual funds try to
attract investors by billing themselves as "socially responsible." this means
that they avoid buying the securities of certain types of companies that might be
offensive to investors (for example, cigarette makers or weapons contractors). If socially
responsible investing is important to you and you are considering buying this type of
fund, you'll want to do your homework to make sure the fund's values are in line with your
own.
You should remember that, k as a rule, it is never a good idea to invest in any fund until
you read its prospectus and understand the risks involved. |
