Shareholders are the worst, but I can’t blame individuals for buying shares (including myself) where it’s basically shooting yourself in the foot to not buy shares.
So who do you mean by shareholders? The ETF that I buy so I don’t have to manually buy the whole market, or a pension fund? Funds are the only other thing I can think of that I’d describe that way.
I mean, it’s recommended to. Diversification, right?
But that’s besides the point. I’m just not sure what you mean by shareholders here. They really come in those two types: individuals, and funds that issue their own shares which you can then buy. If you’re fine with individuals holding shares, I don’t really see why you’d have a problem with the funds.
I didn’t explain it very clearly, I dislike the idea of shares because it results in a board of directers that all have different and contradictory goals to do with the company so the only thing they can agree on in the end is making money regardless of the ethical consequences.
Although since it’s one of the best ways to invest the money you have I don’t blame individuals for buying them.
I get the stocks one totally, I try and boycott companies/countries/policies I don’t like by investing my money in certain ways, but stocks generally are necessary to stop you from losing money to inflation
i honestly just did look on justetf.com
With the (Only sustainable ETFs) filter, for an ESG etf,
and one that is not world/ s&p500 but europe,
(and i also looked for an Provider that is EU based)
The short description text then mentions something like “high score in ESG” or “very high score in ESG” or something else
and based on this text and the companies inside it i then just choos
sry it is probably not that helpfull… but like i also did not do that much research into it/ the etfs beyond what i described ^^
Only Fans cause that shit is free dude
Anything advertised on Instagram or Facebook by “influencers” like some cable tv tele-marathon my grandma would fall for.
Stocks and shares in any sort of oil and gas company, Google, Meta, Amazon, etc.

Sorry I don’t get what you mean. Of course you don’t have to invest into the hole market when you buy a share.

Ah, I see. Never mind.
I get the stocks one totally, I try and boycott companies/countries/policies I don’t like by investing my money in certain ways, but stocks generally are necessary to stop you from losing money to inflation
I go with an esg etf, that only uses companies with very high scores, and only from democratic countries (-> no usa)
I feel like that is a good middle ground without spending too much time on this?
Would you be okay with providing more details? I’m just invested in VGRO and XBAL, so not very ethical. Your thing sounds worth looking into.

Index and Mutual funds. Fidelity is largely free when it comes to investing in managed accounts. Vanguard if you’re fancy and can afford the fees.
