• The number of institutions with significant financial exposure to companies involved in the nuclear weapons industry has dropped by a quarter since the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons entered into force in 2021
• Just under $270 billion was provided to the 24 nuclear weapon producing companies in loans and underwriting, a drop of $6.2 billion since the previous Don’t Bank on the Bomb report.
• The total value of investments is higher than last year, but there’s no increase in the number of investors
• US investors continue to dominate the top 10. Vanguard remains the biggest investor, with $87.5 billion invested in the nuclear weapon industry.
• The top lenders are Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase
• There are almost no investments from financial institutions in countries that joined the TPNW.

• It would be great if you could help share the report widely across your social media channels.
• Check if your bank or pension fund is on the investor list. If so:

• Reach out to them and encourage them to end financial ties with the companies building weapons of mass destruction.  
• Help us keep track of progress! Let us know when a financial institution has made a promise to change policy or practice.
