Bob Frick at Kiplinger’s Personal Finance makes a compelling case for investing in the “Roosevelt Anti-Terror Multi-Cap” mutual fund.
The fund has performed well by avoiding stocks of companies that work with Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria. Over five years, the fund ( BULLX) returned more than 16% annualized. With good returns, low minimum, low expenses (1.28% annually) and the anti-terror hook, the fund may be useful to the growing list of states that passed laws requiring their pension funds to divest from terror-related companies.
