I need to spend more time with this, but it seems to hit a sweet spot for me: managing my returns across the spectrum of funds that I’m currently invested in, and giving my money to things that I believe in (or in this case, avoiding things that I’m uncomfortable with).
A common argument against this strategy would be that I’m losing out on potential returns, but I think that argument is moot here - these companies make up such a small portion of my investments, that I’m able to find similar substitutes and not miss much of anything, really. Plus PLUS, I’ve been meaning to look into my fees, and see if I could get cheaper options. It was surprisingly easy to this for that end.
Forget about the gun thing, this is a nice fund screener. Unfortunately, my guess is that they may get more interest and support if they removed the gun feature entirely. People hear “guns” and prepare themselves for war. In my experience they tend to turn up the volume on their own meatholes, and drown out all others.
- keywonc 10y agoThanks for trying it out. I am getting similar feedback, that it turned out to be a legit fund search tool -- gun issues aside. In fact I compiled a couple things that I found/was told after using this as a fund screener https://medium.com/@keywonc/3-things-that-surprised-me-when-i-browsed-12-000-mutual-funds-63000492fc72 https://medium.com/@keywonc/3-things-that-surprised-me-when-... - “International” funds may not be so international after all. - In the age of free robo-advisors, mutual funds are still expensive. - There are more than 30 fund categories, including very adventurous ones.
