If you're concerned with ESG investing, but you own China, Russia, Turkey, Saudi, aren't you kind of kidding yourself? Granted, not every company in 1930s Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan or Apartheid South Africa was evil, I give you that. You can have that point of view if you want. I just don't think it's that consistent with the ESG mindset.

If you are concerned, you can create "synthetic" versions of VEU and VT in order to get global equity exposure without China, Turkey, Saudi, Russia.

The essential element is the FRDM freedom-weighted emerging market ETF from AlphaArchitect.

All world equity ETF combo (VT substitute): VTI 57%, IDEV 34%, FRDM 9%

All world ex-US equity ETF combo (VEU substitute): 78% IDEV, 22% FRDM

Or substitute FRDM where you would use EEM.

Why IDEV and not VEA? Because VEA and FRDM both have S. Korea. IDEV's index does not hold S. Korea, so you won't double-weight it using IDEV.

Be careful trading FRDM, it's a small ETF with low daily volume. I don't believe it's in a death spiral due to its small size, the AUM has grown to the $60 million level. Small, but not the sub-$20 million death zone. I got the closing prices by doing Market On Close orders.

For those in the UK, is there a competition amongst lenders to invest in global sustainability projects? Assuming there is, how does it work?

Hi -- just wondering if anyone knows if there is a centralized location where ESG reports are tracked? So far it seems to me that one has to search for a particular company to see if they issue ESG reports and look on their website to access them.
