{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I know your picks are actually, like, socially responsible?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"While we pride ourselves on our honesty (and you look especially nice today, BTW), you don’t have to take our word for it. We have a whole whitepaper about how we chose funds composed of companies that score well for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) measures including carbon emissions, diversity, and board composition, according to MSCI. But if you just want the overview, click here."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"So, there’s a Socially Responsible alternative for everything?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Not quite everything. In some cases, like with Dividend Stocks and Emerging Bonds, we don’t include those asset classes. For other cases, like Municipal Bonds, the Socially Responsible portfolio uses the same fund as our Classic portfolio."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"But what if I don’t like your picks?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"You do you! You can customize your Socially Responsible portfolio, add and remove funds, and change how much is invested in each fund any time you want. We have hundreds of additional funds you can choose from, including a variety of SRI funds covering renewable energy, minority empowerment, gender diversity, and more."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is this like how organic strawberries cost twice as much as regular?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Not at all! The weighted average annual expense ratio of the investments in our Socially Responsible portfolio is still between 0.9-0.18%, and we have the same, ultra-low 0.25% annual advisory fee for both our Classic and Socially Responsible portfolios."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"As well written as this website is, I still have questions.","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Sometimes, it’s just easier to talk to a person. That’s why we have certified CPAs, CFAs, and CFPs standing by to help."}}]}
