The idea behind animal friendly mutual funds can be explained in two parts. First part is about mutual funds and another will be about animal friendly. In modern times the instrument of mutual funds has given an ordinary people an interesting power. In old days it was possible for only the rich people to invest in the assets that would give high returns. The ordinary people had no leverage for investing in some high return giving assets like stocks and real estates due to lack of capital. The mutual funds changed this scene drastically. It is possible for the ordinary people to invest in any type of assets with the help of mutual funds. Let us take an example. If you want to buy a real estate you need a capital of $100,000. You have only $1000. You can not buy that real estate. But the mutual fund dealing in real estate can buy that real estate for its investors. You can buy mutual funds share worth $1000. Thus you can part own that real estate. As the value of the real estate goes on appreciating your share value also goes on increasing. Thus mutual funds have given power of purchasing any type of the assets with low investment. Can this power be used for the animal welfare? What are the animal friendly companies? It is obvious that companies dealing with animal leather are animal cruel companies. You do not want to invest them and help the cruelty to animals thru your mutual funds investments. Any animal friendly mutual funds must NOT invest in any animal cruelty companies. But animal friendly companies require much more other features in them to get qualified as animal friendly companies. All the personal care products that you use are first tested on animals. Testing products on animals is animal cruelty. The companies that avoid animal testing become animal friendly companies. The company must avoid any animal part in its products, services and testing to qualify for animal friendly company. There can be some additional criterions also. Some people are interested in knowing whether their working places of the company are pet or animal friendly or not. The people who feel strongly about animal care want to invest in animal friendly mutual funds. The idea is to motivate animal friendliness along with getting returns on the investment. It is the duty of the management team of the animal friendly mutual funds to screen the animal friendly companies. It is the experts who will decide in which companies to invest. The success and profitability of the animal friendly mutual funds will be totally dependent on the skills of the management team. Choose the best one.
