Mayflower Church and our Foundation extend heartfelt congratulations to United Church Funds on the 10th anniversary of the Beyond Fossil Fuels Fund. As early adopters, we initially approached this ethics-based investment choice with cautious optimism and prepared for potential trade-offs in returns. Instead, we’ve been amazed by the results. While energy-sector mutual funds have lagged with annualized returns of roughly 3% over the past decade, the BFF has delivered impressive performance, closely aligning with its benchmark at approximately 14% annualized returns. This is such a stark, positive difference.
