Posts: 85 Forumite

I have an account with Interactive Investor in which the whole of my investments are in the tracker fund Vanguard Lifestrategy 60. I would now like to invest somethng in a tracker fund that avoids fossil fuels, but I can't see how to search for such a fund, nor indeed whether any such are available on my platform. Can anyone advise?

Funds labeled ESG maybe what your looking for such as https://www.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/investments/vanguard-esg-screened-developed-world-all-cap-equity-index-fund-uk-gbp-acc/portfolio-data
They screen out stuff like oil tobacco, arms. But CocaCola are still in there and Nestle etc.1 -

There are varying levels when it comes to your ethics and you have every right to choose these and ignore the bizarre post higher up.
Sustainable
Responsible
ESG
Ethical.
Responsible and Sustainable funds or portfolios are basically off the shelf solutions designed for people that have views but not strict ones and happy to go along with what the fund house views on sustainable or responsible.
ESG requires more work from the fund house and many fund houses are wary about committing to ESG and falling foul of greenwashing complaints or missing something. There are ESG funds but not as many as responsible or sustainable.
Ethical funds tend to require you to define your views on what should be included, not included or not an area of concern. Once you have gone through the filters, you can select funds that match your views. These are aimed more at someone who is very serious about living an ethical lifestyle.

I've got some of my pension going into this: https://www.blackrock.com/uk/individual/products/316259/ishares-developed-world-fossil-fuel-screened-index-fund-uk
Simple, equities only, cheap and still massively weighted to the US. You could do something like that while holding a fossil fuel screened/ESG bond fund.
As for the post a few above, ignore WEF/Great reset/Bill gates/Schwab etc word salads wherever you see them.0 -
You could look at Morningstar's list of ESG funds for ideas:Then you could check if what you like the look of is available at II (most probably would be).0
