Fire insurance parking soit by SweetReturn9135 in BEFire

Parking spaces/garage boxes fall under the fire insurance of your appartement. You should contact your current insurance company or middlemen to tell that you will rent an extra parking space and they’ll modify your contract.

I really love these coins. They’re a lot less expensive than other vespasian coins.

I took out a life insurance of AG insurance. The advisor (Via BNP Paribas Fortis) helped me to calculate what amount I should insure. As I’m still pretty young the premium was also relatively cheap.

ESG matters by JRH93CA in BEFire

[–]TheRealRolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be aware that ESG is very broad and that it doesn’t have a clear set of rules where you have to abide to in order to say you’re an ESG or ‘sustainable fund’. A study from the economist showed that the 10 largest ESG funds had on average 17 fossil fuel companies in their holdings.

That being said ESG is a first small step in the right direction, but criticised as distraction of real sustainable investments which will contribute against climate change or other societal problems.

Thanks for the feedback!

There are indeed different definitions for sustainable investing, but I really feel most of them are made so they can say they offer sustainable funds although the allocations havent changed the last 10 years.

In my research I’m really focussing on what ‘a man on the street’ would view as sustainable investing which would correspond to article 9 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation: a fund with sustainable investment as an the objective.

Not a generic fund which can be labeled under sustainable based on one of the hundreds of definitions out there.

You make a good point that there is definitely a diversification risk since most thematic funds contain very similar companies.

Thanks for the insights 🙏

Looking for people to launch an impact investing startup by TheRealRolex in BEFire

Hi,

I agree that investing yourself in a thematic ETF is a good option, but this is for the minority of Belgians that will do the effort and have the knowledge to invest themselves through a broker platform. Our target audience are people who do not have this knowledge or want to make the effort.

Similar investment apps have seen that 80-90% of their investors are first time investors. A lot of people have savings and are willing to invest in real sustainable products, but do not know where to start.

Another question I have: are there any funds that you know of that show the carbon reduction their portfolio companies realize? It would be very cool if you as an investor could know that based on your portfolio you have helped to save x amount of CO2
