Nearly 70% of 286 sustainable funds ranked in the top half of their performance category last year, according to Morningstar.\nAssets in Putnam Investments’ Putnam Multi-Cap Growth and Multi-Cap Value funds were hovering near their lowest point since the early 2000s when the company rebranded both funds.\nAssets of the rechristened Putnam Sustainable Leaders Fund rose by 66% to $6.5 billion as of this June. ThePutnam Sustainable Future Fundgrew its assets by 93% to $649 million, according to the Journal’s analysis. Both funds have outperformed their benchmarks and the S&P 500 in the past three years after periods of mixed performance prior to rebranding.\nThe Sustainable Future Fund underwent the most dramatic change, shifting 75% of its portfolio to focus on sustainable firms, according to Putnam’s head of sustainable investing, Katherine Collins. “There are a wide range of approaches that folks are taking in developing sustainable funds, and for Putnam it was pretty far into the heavy-lift side of things.”\nStocks in energy firms like ConocoPhillips were dropped, and renewable-resource firms were added such as solar-panel makerSunrunInc.,which was a top contributor to the fund’s 2020 performance.\n“We’re happy not just with the numbers but with how those numbers have been generated,” Ms. Collins said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":646,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889580645,"gmtCreate":1631158025588,"gmtModify":1631891264761,"author":{"id":"3574372584321621","authorId":"3574372584321621","name":"Donokane","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b672fbcb32dfabc5e8ff43920dc4c61e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574372584321621","idStr":"3574372584321621"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"\"Chipping\" all the way to the bank","listText":"\"Chipping\" all the way to the bank","text":"\"Chipping\" all the way to the bank","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/889580645","repostId":"1135345797","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1135345797","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631156729,"share":"https://www.laohunote.com/m/news/1135345797?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-09 11:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Micron Is Too Cheap To Ignore","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1135345797","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"I invest mainly in secular growth companies and would, therefore, avoid Micron because the memory and storage segment is highly cyclical.Micron is reporting strong growth in the past few quarters and this trend is expected to remain positive over the next couple of years.Micron Technology is a cyclical play within the semiconductor industry and I prefer to invest in secular growth companies, but its valuation is so cheap that it makes a very compelling investment right now.Micron is one of the l","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>I invest mainly in secular growth companies and would, therefore, avoid Micron because the memory and storage segment is highly cyclical.</li>\n <li>Micron is reporting strong growth in the past few quarters and this trend is expected to remain positive over the next couple of years.</li>\n <li>Its valuation at less than 7x forward earnings is very undemanding and makes it a good cyclical play in the semiconductor industry.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea6943b055b8a3f717a6e1f6c038c065\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1025\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Micron Technology</b>(MU) is a cyclical play within the semiconductor industry and I prefer to invest in secular growth companies, but its valuation is so cheap that it makes a very compelling investment right now.</p>\n<p><b>Company Overview</b></p>\n<p>Micron&nbsp;is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world, measured by its more than $21 billion in revenues generated last year.
