CHARLOTTE, VT – “Align your investment returns with your values: busting the myths of socially responsible investing,” is the topic of a talk by Tom Gainey, from Pax World Fund in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It takes place on Thursday, September 26, at the Charlotte Congregational Church beginning with a soup supper at 5:30 pm.

Pax World Fund was the first socially responsible mutual fund in America, started in 1971 by its founders who were active in peace, equitable housing and employment issues for the United Methodist Church.

Pax World provides investors with a vehicle that allows them to align their investments with their values and empowers them to challenge corporations to establish and meet high standards of social and environmental responsibility. Their pioneering work guided development of the sustainable investing industry’s philosophies. Today, Pax World (www.paxworld.com) continues to be a leader in the investment world, with a broad range of investment strategies that have a proven long-term track record.

This event is the first in a community-wide series entitled, “Things That Matter,” that the Charlotte Congregational Church is hosting. Sustainable investing is a topic of the church as it considers its own endowment fund. The “Things That Matter” series will cover a wide range of topics from socially responsible investing to parenting teenagers, to end-of-life considerations. The public is invited to participate with a suggested donation of $12
