Unethical fund?

I see lots of ethical funds, the likes of Marks and Sparks and co-op are flogging these funds that are popular with the tree hugging, carrot munching city dwellers.

Why isnt their an unethical fund? Something that is proud of the fact that it invests in gambling companies, tree fallers, coal burning smog generating power plants, exploitation of cheap foreign labour in poland, india, china etc, companies intend on world domination and crushing everyone in their path, fox hunting associated companies, V12 monster truck chelsea tractors etc etc. Buy our "big bank" unethical fund today.

...Just my comical thought for the day. :beer: :rotfl:

    I don't know if it ever launched though.

    It's probably uncorrelated to economic cycles, with folks losing hope and drinking, smoking and gambling their lives away in a recession - making it possibly a good bet in the near future!
