When young master Dewlar AKA the world's most perfect being was christened, he received an amount of money as a gift placed in a sustainability fund by his grandparents. After just over five years, the amount had more than halved.
Since this was a gift, we didn't really know how to manage the fund. In the end we just bit the bullet and informed them how poorly the fund was performing. They were surprised. Actually, they had not wanted to buy shares in a sustainability fund, but the bank clerk had insisted that it was a good investment. And that it was for a good cause.
We sold off the fund and bought Swedish Match instead. Maybe not politically correct for a teenager to have holdings in a tobacco company but you have to put your house in order.
