Investing in companies with a good environmental record is one way to let your money speak. The Jantzi Social Index™  is a socially screened, market capitalization-weighted common stock index of 60 Canadian companies that pass a set of broadly-based social and environmental screens. The Jantzi Social Index™  creates a benchmark against which institutional investors could measure the performance of socially screened portfolios. In addition, by tracking the JSI™ over time, it is hoped that an answer will emerge to the question: How does the application of social criteria affect investment performance?

 

Meritas Mutual Funds - Canadians can finally invest in a mutual fund that is designed to track the Jantzi Social Index providing an opportunity for investors to get good financial and social returns with their investing dollars.
