Many investors have become ordsprog

Many investors have become a lot more sophisticated with their asset allocations. They're not just looking at fixed-income alone. They're looking to put a portion of their assets in high-yield mutual funds.

It's rarely a case of assets taking precedent.

Mutual funds, which are responsible for the retirement investments of millions of investors, should be at the forefront of investors encouraging companies to address global warming.
