Investors Against Genocide
Draw the line at investing in genocide

Dear friends of IAG,
 
We have great news to share. A new market research study has revealed that 88% of Americans would like their mutual funds to be genocide-free.  For those earning $50,000 or more, that percentage climbs to 95%.  

This confirmation of overwhelming support for genocide-free investing should be very significant to financial advisers well as to consumers of financial products.  Accordingly, we have written a new white paper for financial advisers which highlights the high level of consumer interest in genocide-free investing and the genocide-free options that are now available.  We're also running ads with Investment News to get the word out to the investment adviser community.
 
The white paper details how the investment landscape changed dramatically during the last year as leading mutual fund companies, after engagement with IAG, decided to offer clear, mainstream alternatives for Americans who wish to keep their savings genocide-free.  The positive steps taken by American Funds and TIAA-CREF stand in stark contrast to Vanguard, Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton for making no commitment to genocide-free investing and continuing to hold large investments in companies, such as PetroChina, linked to genocide..
TAKE ACTION

There are new ways to support the movement toward genocide-free investing:
  1. If you have a financial adviser, please tell them about the white paper.  Consider setting up a meeting to discuss whether genocide-free investment options may be right for you.
  2. Sign up for our new fan page on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and help spread the word via your social media profiles.
If you haven't volunteered to submit a shareholder proposal and you own at least $2,000 worth of a mutual fund that has not yet committed to genocide-free investing, we still need your help to force the companies to address this issue.

Thanks for your ongoing support of genocide-free investing.
