Ohh man my ESG ETF is suddenly evil..
2 comments

I was very interested in ESG until I saw that pretty much all ESG funds had Facebook in the top handful of holdings. Because they're easy on the environment compared to an aluminum smelter, and somehow destroying democracy around the world doesn't count as a social or governance issue. I've changed my focus to owning shares via funds that will vote my shares with some sort of conscience. (Vanguard is the rock bottom on that metric, btw.)

Could you recommend alternative funds that are more ethical?

What difference did the article make, compared to this below?
