    As someone who deeply cares about the environment, ESG funds seem like a joke. The way our financial system is designed, these companies will never truly value sustainability. This is where the government needs to step in with sanctions and other regulatory practices. Divestment on an individual scale will have little to no impact, even if EVERY investor was on board.

    I've got around a dozen Vanguard funds and interestingly the ESG funds (I have the ESG Developed World and all cap income/accumulation/GBP ones), have outperformed all of the others substantially over the past 12 months. They have returned well upwards of 20% sometimes pushing 30% over less than 12 months interestingly so it's a shame the ESG ones only make up 10% of my portfolio!

      @@billerator I think comparing the all cap it seems to have done better. Those funds must be quite noticeably different for that difference, although I am noticing ESG did +23% 2023 but -22% in 2022. I'm not sure that's better than +14% by the non-esg and -8% in 2022. You'd be looking at 6% vs 1% with those stats.
      The developed world one, non-ESG seems to have done better - but I don't think that's comparing like for like, it's like 2,000 vs 4,000 stocks.

I’ll keep buying and buy through all the dips. I sort of see it like if it falls it’s a good chance to buy more for the future. I think you also need to be careful of not missing the best days of the market

    There is always a slightly negative view on ESG funds in the wider investing market. I hold both an ESG S&P 500 and Emerging Markets fund in my ISA and both have out performed the equivalent Vanguard fund. I feel that over the next few years more and more people will start to switch to these ESG funds which I like to think means a more positive impact on the planet.

    This 90% Dev Market and 10% EM Market split into two funds makes sense and lowers fees. But if the EM market share increases you will then have to change the % market split and keep doing it so this might become a nuisance although maybe it won’t change too much on an annual basis.
    The advantage of a global ETF is that there is no need to worry about this as the allocation is automated, albeit with higher fees. Or just drop the EM share and just buy the DEV Market ETF.
    Another, perhaps infrequent problem is the content of the two ETFs in terms of countries. So if an EM Country becomes developed then you would have to change your allocation.
    So the two ETF model works well but isn’t entirely free of having to adjust it. And you also mention rebalancing which makes sense between Equities and Bonds to achieve a fixed bond % for risk control. But why balance between DEV and EM markets ? If one grows faster than the other then shouldn’t you accept that as the correct allocation ? Because if EM markets was 40 % of the total right now you would argue , I assume, for a 60/40 split ?
    Personally I would go for one of the global ETFs and swallow the extra charges to stop myself from constantly tampering with the allocations
