Hi all,
I have relied on low cost stock index funds for pretty much all my investments. I have a TSP and then Roth IRA and post-tax investing through Fidelity and the TSP is in C/S funds, Roth is in the low cost S&P index funds or the new zero fee funds. I pretty much set it and forget it w/automatic investing each month, knowing that I probably won't be pulling any money out (maybe some from my post-tax investing for home renovations w/in the next 5-10 years) for another 20 years or so.
I am trying to be more socially and environmentally conscious though and read an article recently about socially conscious investing, so things like renewable resources, animal free, environmentally friendly investing. I'm not really sure where to get started though, and I don't know enough about this investing area other than the fact that sustainable energy and animal free products is going to be a big part of the future, as it's just not sustainable to be eating so much meat and continuing to use fossil fuels.
So, does anyone know about any low-cost index funds in Fidelity that are environmentally based or socially conscious or something like that? I figure if I'm investing for the 20 year future and the fact that I think the industry is going to have to move this way pretty quickly in the next decade or so, and the fact that I'd probably feel better about myself investing at least some money this way, I'd like to try and put something towards this area.
Any advice or suggestions would be great to hear! Looking for low-cost, set it and forget it funds. Thanks!
