Do You Have an Option to Invest in Tobacco?

Lung cancer oncologist Dr. King spoke to her pension fund about investing in tobacco stocks. She asked why the default fund for a health care professional is invested in tobacco. Since 2011 when she had that conversation to 2018 she has spoken to AXA and many sovereign wealth funds around the world. In that period of time from 2011 to 2018, she has helped trustees divest $8 billion worth of tobacco stocks. 100,000 people a week globally die from tobacco related illness.
