Hello, can anyone help me please? 
I am looking at adding ethical funds to my portfolio with Vanguard- I am confused with the difference between ESG developed all world fund and the SRI European/global fund?

    So you are asking the difference between a developed world fund (not 'all world' as that would include emerging markets - it's 'all cap' so includes smaller companies which still tend to be quite large) that invests globally (heavy US weighting) and one that only invests in European companies? The first difference is the geography.
    Vanguard US have published a slightly out of date guide on ESG, SRI and impact investing

    What are you ethics?   Does Vanguard's offering match your ethics?
    Are you looking only at ethics or sustainability?
