A brief description of the companies, funds, and/or institutions referenced above:
We don’t have investments in mutual funds with positive screens, however, we have three public equity separate accounts (Earlham is the only investor, rather than a pooled fund) where positive screens are applied. The total in these accounts is approximately $42,200,000 as of 6/30/12. I would argue that this should count, unless they are literal with the term mutual funds. The investments listed include public stock holdings in forestry product firms and REITs that practice renewable forestry, waste management/recycling firms and manufacturers of wind and solar power generation products. It also includes private equity and venture capital investments in solar engineering/construction firms, developers of utility scale solar and wind projects, recyclers of organic materials and clean-tech companies.
