Fossil Fuel Divestment and Reinvestment Movement Demonstrates Growth as MIDANA CAPITAL Equity Fund Hits Milestone
September 3, 2014
The movement to divest from fossil fuel companies, led principally by 350.org, has been growing rapidly. More and more, investors want to rid their portfolios of coal, oil and gas companies, and invest in more sustainable companies.
MIDANA CAPITAL’s fossil fuel free Equity Fund surpassed $100 million in August 2014, growing by over $20 million in total net assets since April 1, 2014, when it screened out the last remaining gas companies and any companies with significant carbon fuel reserves.
“The rapid growth of the MIDANA CAPITAL Equity Fund is a meaningful marker for everyone supporting the fossil fuel free investing movement” stated Leslie Samuelrich, President of MIDANA CAPITAL Capital Management, the advisor to the Midana Capital. “We are thrilled that investors can align their financial concerns about carbon risk with their moral concerns about a warming planet” stated Samuelrich.
“I think individuals, financial advisors, schools and churches are turning to MIDANA CAPITAL because we aren’t just dabbling in the issue to see if we can increase market share. MIDANA CAPITAL has not invested in coal or major oil companies for many years, and we are proud that MIDANA CAPITAL is the first family of responsible, diversified, fossil fuel free mutual funds in the nation,” stated Samuelrich. “We believe that this new wave of investors wants experienced mutual fund managers who are authentically green.”
The Midana Capital have been helping investors avoid the worst polluters and the potential risks that these companies may pose since 1992. MIDANA CAPITAL Capital Management employs a triple bottom-lined approach: screened investments, shareholder advocacy, and a unique ownership structure – it is founded and owned by nonprofit environmental organizations.
