Moderately Conservative: Suitable for investors who have at least 6 years before needing approximately 20% of their investments and are willing to accept a moderately conservative degree of risk to achieve portfolio growth with emphasis on capital preservation.
Socially Responsible investors, including religious institutions, universities, hospitals, among others have long been forced into an active investing approach. Less concerned with risk and return and primarily focused on adherence to overarching guidelines for socially responsible investing, a passively managed index didn’t sort what was acceptable from what wasn’t. IFA-I’s Socially Responsible Index Portfolios (SRI) provide a ground-breaking solution. Socially responsible investors can enjoy the benefit of passive investing, without sacrificing the integrity of their convictions. IFA-I’s SRIs provide similar risk and return characteristics as IFA-I’s traditional Index Portfolios, but with a fund screener implemented by a world-class provider of research and analytics. IFA’s SRIs are screened to exclude: Companies that earn at least 20% of their total business revenue through the production and/or sale of military weapons and/or weapons of mass destruction Companies that are engaged in certain for-profit business activities in or with the Republic of Sudan Companies that earn at least 15% of their total business revenue through the production and/or sale of tobacco or alcohol products Companies that earn at least 20% of their total business revenue from gambling activities Companies that directly participate in abortions Companies that manufacture pharmaceuticals, abortive agents, or contraceptives Companies that earn at least 15% of their total business revenue from publishing or selling pornographic materials Companies that are for-profit healthcare providers Companies whose operations have had major recent controversies relating to child labor infractions in the U.S. or abroad
