Are you aware of the S&P 500 ESG index?
- safog 6y agoI think it has mostly been established that these are bogus and the actual companies don't really do much of anything social / environmental. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/26/chamath-palihapitiya-esg-investing-is-a-complete-fraud.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/26/chamath-palihapitiya-esg-inv... Anyway, these are ethical concepts and can vary widely between person to person. Some might not want to invest in energy companies at all where as others might not have anything against companies selling oil / cars with internal combustion engines but take objection to a company's CEO being against BLM for example.
- wheybags 6y agoThere are various "ethical" indexes, but pretty much none of them exclude google or facebook (which would be at the top of my cut-list). I want to do my own individual research on each company, and come to my own conclusions.

- jdthedisciple 6y agoI can identify fully with your investing needs and am looking for exactly the same as you - some sort of custom etfs that fully comply with my ethics and morale. Just wanted to mention that :)
