Military weapon companies derive their profits from military interventions, the global arms trade, and the militarization of our streets. Across thousands of mutual funds, we track investments in:
The largest publicly-traded military contractors fueling global warfare
Manufacturers of banned weapons like cluster bombs and landmines
Companies involved in the construction or maintenance of nuclear arms
If you own mutual funds, there’s a good chance that you own shares of gun manufacturers profiting from the bloodshed of mass shootings and gun violence. See if your funds are invested in:
Leading manufacturers of firearms and ammo
Gun retailers selling handguns, shotguns, rifles, and ammunition – including high-capacity magazines and semiautomatic weapons
“Continuing high world military expenditure is a cause for serious concern. It undermines the search for peaceful solutions to conflicts around the world.” - Ambassador Jan Eliasson, governing board chair of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
Over the past years, a growing divestment movement – including universities, religious organizations, individual investors, retirement funds, mutual funds, and other financial institutions – are responding to this risk by divesting all or some of their weapon investments.
