Suns Group Sustainable Fund Sets New Investing Criteria

OTTAWA, Ontario, March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Suns Group, managers of the Suns Sustainable Fund, today announced a revised set of criteria directing their investment decisions. In future, the fund's portfolio will be more heavily weighted toward companies involved in renewable energy such as wind and solar.

In existence since 2007, the open-ended mutual fund currently holds assets totaling just under $250 million. It invests solely in companies demonstrating a commitment to socially responsible goals such as improving the environment and investing in communities.

"We are pleased that our investment strategy continues to deliver superior results, while at the same time reflecting the socially responsible values of our investors," says fund manager Jemmy Oscar. "Socially conscious investing presents additional challenges. And yet our results to date do speak for themselves."

At the end of the latest business quarter Suns Sustainable Fund reported investments in over 100 publically traded companies including Scottish and Southern Energy Ltd., Johnson & Johnson, Inc., Johnson Matthey PLC and Unilever N.V.  

In 2012 Suns Sustainable Fund shares outperformed S&P equity and bond fund benchmarks. During the 12-month period the fund outpaced the broader equity market by 47.34 percent, and the bond market by 72.87 percent. The fund has outpaced the Standard & Poor's stock average for ten consecutive business quarters.

"By choosing to focus more narrowly on the renewable energy sector investors are signaling their concern that the world simply cannot afford to wait much longer for innovative green energy solutions," notes Oscar.
