UBS has decided to remove arms manufacturers from its sustainability funds' exclusion list, allowing investments in companies that produce conventional weapons. This controversial move has sparked criticism from various stakeholders, including the Ethos investment foundation, which argues it sends the "wrong signal" amid current geopolitical tensions. The decision aligns with recent regulatory changes in Europe and the UK, but raises questions about the true sustainability of such investments.
Many investors view green investment funds as misleading due to the lack of a clear definition of sustainability, which varies widely among fund companies. The recent EU criteria for "sustainable" products do little to clarify this ambiguity, while the performance of these funds often lags behind traditional investments. Additionally, the debate over including sectors like nuclear power and arms manufacturing in sustainable portfolios reflects differing opinions on what constitutes sustainability, further complicating the landscape for investors.
