Invest With Impact: MD Fossil Fuel Free Funds™

A small change in your portfolio could make a big difference for our future.

Unique, Future-Focused, Flexible

Investing in fossil-fuel-free funds is a choice that resonates with Canada's Physicians and their families. You asked us to investigate investment opportunities in renewable energy; now we offer a powerful way to align your investments with your values.

Now you can invest across stock and bond holdings while seeking to avoid companies involved in extracting, processing or transporting fossil fuels. Consider building a greener portfolio by including MD Fossil Fuel Free Funds™ among your investments.

Unique

Most fossil-fuel-free funds available in Canada only eliminate companies involved in extraction. Developed in response to feedback from CMA members in 2015, MD Fossil Fuel Free Funds™ go a step further by also seeking to avoid companies involved in processing or transporting these fuels.

Future-Focused

The MD Fossil Fuel Free Equity Fund™ includes a positive impact sleeve—an opportunity to invest in companies that develop or fund positive environmental solutions like renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste reduction and water management.

Flexible

Your MD Advisor can help you decide what percentage of your portfolio to invest in fossil-fuel-free equities and bonds. Whether to invest in these funds at all is entirely up to you.
