American Eco was one of the stocks just put in the "spolight" by the Clean Environment Fund. cleanenvironment.com As they state ..... ______________________________________________ The Clean Environment Family of Mutual Funds were established to invest in companies that fit the principles of sustainable economic development. The Clean Environment Funds are unique in at least two important ways. Our investment advisor, Acuity, follows a disciplined, risk averse, conservative, value-based investment philosophy in the Warren Buffet style that distinguishes our funds from other Canadian mutual funds. Our objective is to create long term wealth for c lients by investing in outstanding companies strategically positioned for significant growth over the next decade. Acuity investigates the firms thoroughly, then buys and typically holds the stock for a long period of time. Portfolio turnover tends to be very low. Secondly, by understanding the science underlying the technologies that companies use in the products or services they provide, Acuity selects the ones that fit the environmental concept of sustainable growth which is "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Since gaining international recognition in 1987, this concept has resulted in a wave of new industries and technologies that redesign processes, use alternative techniques and renewable resources, substantially increasing the profitability and competitive position of the companies that employ a sustainable approach. For innovative companies, sustainability represents unprecedented opportunity for development of n ew products and services that provide solutions to the world's environmental problems. It is these fundamental principles that guide Clean Environment's decision making process and have produced excellent results. Acuity Investment Management is actively engaged in the discretionary management of investment portfolios for pension funds, mutual and pooled investment funds, and individuals. As at December 31, 1997 Clean Environment and its affiliate has assets under administration in excess of $275 million.
