About GCINX
The Green Century MSCI International Index Fund Individual Investor Class is an equity index mutual fund designed to provide investors with exposure to large- and mid-cap companies across developed markets outside the United States. Its primary goal is to achieve a long-term total return that matches the performance of the MSCI World ex USA SRI ex Fossil Fuels Index, which includes companies selected based on high environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.
Notable for its exclusionary approach, the fund avoids investment in companies involved in fossil fuels, tobacco, nuclear energy, weapons manufacturing, genetically modified organisms, alcohol, gambling, and adult entertainment. This values-driven strategy positions the fund as one of the first diversified, fossil fuel free international index funds available to U.S. investors. It invests in approximately 175–200 stocks from 21 developed nations, such as Japan, Germany, France, Canada, and Switzerland, with the portfolio reviewed and rebalanced regularly to maintain ESG standards.
Through its focus on sustainability and responsible investing, the fund appeals to investors seeking alignment with environmental and ethical values while participating in the global equity markets outside of the United States and emerging economies.
