The Dreyfus Premier Third Century Fund, Inc.
|
The Dreyfus Premier Third Century Fund, Inc. is one of the country's oldest
and largest socially responsible funds, started in 1972. The fund focuses
on companies that conduct business in a manner that contributes to the enhancement of the quality of life in America, with special emphasis on the environment, product safety, employee safety, and equal employment opportunity.
In certain industries that have historically poor environmental performance
(such as oil and gas companies), the fund invests in only those firms that
fund managers believe have the best relative environmental performance,
rather than eliminate these industry groups altogether. The fund will not
invest in companies that manufacture tobacco products.
The fund managers strive to maintain open communications with companies'
management to encourage improvement in the funds' socially responsible
areas. The fund's shares are generally voted in support of social
shareholder resolutions if the funds' managers believe they support the
fund's areas of social concern.
