Nuclear Weapons Investment Policy

Commerzbank is one of the leading banks for private and corporate customers in Germany and Poland. In total, Commerzbank boasts nearly 15 million private customers, as well as 1 million business and corporate clients.25

Commerzbank’s weapons policy is described in its Guidelines Governing Armaments Transactions, which states that Commerzbank does not accompany financial transactions related to weapons thought controversial, including nuclear weapons.26

Furthermore, Commerzbank’s “weapon guidelines” prohibit any direct participation in delivering weapons or military equipment to areas of conflict and tension.27

The guideline applies to the entire company and includes corporate finance, trade finance, and investment banking activities. Commerzbank does not offer own products that invest in producers of controversial weapons. The same applies to funds from other investment companies that it recommends to its private clients. The policy does not apply to passively managed funds like funds following an index.28

While the Commerzbank policy looks good at first glance, upon further inspection it does not apply to all financial products (like index trackers), and it does not comprehensively apply to the nuclear weapons programmes in France, UK and US. It is included here for informational purposes and to acknowledge that there is an existing policy.
