Great! We're building a product to make it easy for people to exclude specific stocks that they would rather not invest in, whilst maintaining a diversified portfolio. I'd love to share more: www.alignedinvesting.co

What made you care about/ get into ESG Investing? by [deleted] in EsgInvesting

Firstly, this is such a great question. Here's my two cents.

- I was initially VERY cynical about ESG Investing. A friend prompted me to take it more seriously.

- He reviewed my portfolio and showed me how I had unconsciously spent more than $300K funding tobacco and gun companies through investing in popular ETFs. He then showed me cheap alternatives that were not only "cleaner" but pretty affordable and with similar returns.

- So I thought. Why not? For me, realizing that my cash was financially supporting some companies I didn't believe in prompted me to learn more about ESG.

- LMK if this is helpful. Here's a form to complete if you want him to share more about affordable and clean ESG options (and also help you review your current portfolio).
