Is ethical investing a dud? @NZSuperFund @JordNZ @EricCrampton @GreenpeaceNZ

Imagine how much more would be available for funding old age pensioners, schools, hospitals and kidney machines if you have a passively invested portfolio rather than an ethically invested portfolio. Virtue signalling is not free. Ethical investing significantly underperforms the market even if done by the best of the passive investing funds such as Vanguard.

Ethical investing is back in the news again; time to look at the investment performance of a fund specialising in investing in the sin industries.

My only question is why have guards outside if there is a nuclear holocaust. My other only question is why have a lot of armed people outside with keys to get in.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
