The Top Green Mutual Funds

There's no time like the present, to consider alternative means of fuel

. Diminishing oil reserves and intensely fluctuating market prices add to the doubts of investors. Renewable energy is the way of the future and there are several companies latching on to this movement.

For large scale investment and popularity the Calvert Large Cap group continues to be environmentally friendly, while closely monitoring the market. This group searches for large stocks and then invests. Working alongside this company opens up opportunities for you to get good returns as well as the marketing and exposure to large conglomerates. The group has large divestments and a proven track record of better returns than the competition for a steady period.

For a more strategic approach to investing in renewable energy, companies such as Spectra Green can give you better than average returns. Performance over the year has improved especially when considering its 18.7% returns are almost twice the average for S&P 500. Investment in this company is even more attractive when you look at the stronger levels of divestment by comparison to Calvert.

The Guinness Atkinson group adds even more exposure. Although starting late in the business, it has proven itself to be a highly competitive group with returns of more than 16%. There was a large dip soon after the fund was established but that has been addressed and things are looking up for the company. More than half the losses have been regained, which says a lot for a company less than 4 years old.

The New Alternatives is one other energy fund which deserves some attention. There is a strong track record associated with this company and with new and better managerial experience and know how, added to the company in the early 80's, it is peaking 22% returns annually.

The risks involved are evident in the investment in this renewable energy. However, as more people become aware of the possibilities for reducing cost and a cleaner environment, the benefits far outweigh the risks and are further reduced when popularity increases. The mutual fund offers this level of publicity compared to the individual stocks as more persons are likely to take a large group at face value, than to take a smaller, less popular group.

The Winslow Green Growth group provides investors with the choice of investing in companies which help the environment and those dedicated to advancing renewable energy. At nearly 27% annual returns there is proof of the value of this investment. First Solar and Green Mountain Coffee are two of the top investors who have seen tremendous results. Since 1994 the new investment manager was Jackson Robinson who since taking office has consistently listed excellent returns; gains have been stable year after year.

Green is the way of the future and despite criticisms of it being only a trend; it is fast becoming the required way of life for a better environment. Investing in these companies is a means of assuring a stable future for global commerce and industries.
