Thinking about RRSP's. Consider an ethical mutual fund. Eugene Ellmen, has just published the Canadian Ethical Money Guide.

As reviewed by David Zgodzinski in a recent article in the Globe and Mail, deciding on what is an ethical investment is not simple. "Evidently, a company's policy can be perceived by one investor as socially responsible and by another as a sin." For example, the US Pride Fund invests in companies that "have progressive policies towards gays and lesbians". Others, such as the US Timothy Fund, will not invest in companies that extend "company insurance benefits to the live-in partners of homosexual employees". Perhaps this is a good way of formulating and exercising your own ethical views.
