Caterpillar pulled from social indexes JERUSALEM (AP) — U.S investment firm MSCI Inc. says it has removed Caterpillar Inc. from three of its popular indexes that track socially responsible investments, citing concerns about the Israeli military's use of company bulldozers in the Palestinian territories. The decision has already spurred American mutual fund giant TIAA-CREF to remove $72 million in Caterpillar shares from its "Social Choice" Fund.
