Swedish regulator probed investors' weapons exclusions
Original: Swedish regulator probed investors’ controversial weapons exclusions
Sweden's financial regulator examined how investors justify excluding weapons companies from their portfolios, focusing on exclusions that have drawn controversy. The probe raises questions about whether funds' ethical and defence-related screening policies are consistent, transparent and compliant with disclosure rules. The issue is sensitive in Sweden, where changed security politics have reignited debate over defence investments and the limits of responsible investing.
Why now: Debate over defence stocks and ethical exclusions has intensified amid changed European security policy.
