      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? A pension fund? Funds are the only other thing I can think of that I’d describe that way.

      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.

      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.

            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 ^^
