Sure, they may support 1 or more candidates or usues of 1 party or the other, but that is not the point of their business. Seems silly to me.

Still, its a pretty cool idea. I've seen funds that stay away from certain industries or products but not one that is just made up of companies favored by a particular political party.

The company also said it would sell or avoid a well-performing stock simply because it does not meet the "give blue" or "act blue" requirements." Democrat or not, I don't think this makes good investment sense. I thought this was kind of funny:

This is a great tool. Even if you do not invest in the fund, it gives you an idea about the companies. Now you can choose companies to patron, or not (in my case). Wow! This is a great tool.
