The Winslow Green Growth Fund stood out to me in a New York Times mutual fund round-up from early this year. This fund was among the best performing mutual funds of 2004 and it invests only in environmentally friendly companies.

The minimum initial investment is $5,000, and you can set up monthly or bimonthly automatic investments of >= $100 after that. I’d like to set this kind of thing up while I’m young and am not locked into long-term investments in environmentally unfriendly corporations.

Now, where did I put that $5,000?

PS. On the subject of evironmentally friendly companies, I noticed that Nike considered improving their corporate image this year. What I love is how this is a special product with a special website targeted toward a special audience, not a wider business practice for Nike.

Check out SocialFunds.com. Socially responsible investing is like eating organic in finance. It’s good for you and has wider benefits.

I’m also a fan of Portfolio 21 (PORTX), Women’s Equity Mutual Fund (FEMMX), and New Alternatives Fund (NALFX).

There are even more traditional SRI funds! Like those at Calvert Group!
