For the record, I’m not trying to make any accusations towards you. When I said ‘you’ in the previous comment take it to mean the general you. From the comments of yours I’ve read you seem like a good person to me.
I didn’t take it personally. I’m very comfortable with my investments. I was just calling out the fact that someone who had worked their whole life at an economist and central banker is going to have money and is going to have investments just like every single conservative MP, premier, senator, and MPP does.
I’m still surprised, however, that someone who wrote a whole book about the responsibility market participants have to look beyond immediate personal gain (particularly in relation to climate) would be like, gimme an index fund that doesn’t exclude oil & gas corporations
He probably didn’t specifically choose that fund. He most likely had someone who managed his portfolio. My guy added oil and gas and pipelines and pharma. When I reviewed my holdings I asked him to divest of those things. I still hold pharma but it’s all small research companies, not the huge global players. Most of my stocks are technology.
My investments are managed by someone. I made him exclude oil and gas, defence, and others. It’s mostly technology.
