buying mutual funds?

I’m new to investing but about to invest on some mutual funds portfolios but i don’t really understand reading the performance.
There are a few things I notice, “YTD”, “1 YR” “2 YR” etc.
Currently most of the YTD are negative/red but 1 YR are positive/green.
Which one is the most important indicator among these before we buy funds?
I believe everyone objective is gain profits with less risks.

Thanks in advance!!!
Are you saying since this year most of funds are red will be a good time to buy? or wait until even higher red before buying?
Also, is that mean if one funds (let say AAAA already at the peak for the last 3 years, we wont get more?

If you’re an investor who is concerned about the impact of corporations on the environment and society, then socially responsible investing (SRI) is a growing sector where you will find securities that fit with your philosophy. SRI is a recognized focus within the investment community.

Socially responsible investments are analyzed on a global scale. The SRI agenda is to promote a set of values which are considered to be ethical and “Earth friendly” by investing in companies which exhibit these values in their corporate structure, in the workplace, in their labor practices, in their concern for the environment, and in their impact on the community (including respect for the rights of native peoples). SRI intentionally excludes certain business sectors which are deemed to be unhealthy for the planet, such as weapons, tobacco and gambling.
