ETFs Going Socially Responsible

There's now a socially responsible exchange-traded fund, and a clean energy ETF is on the way.

1. It's good to see that

Exchange Traded Funds (ETF's) have moved into socially responsible investing. I knew that they were used for specific sector investing like technology and utilities and investing in specific countries.

Socially responsible investing in general is increasing and is now over 10% of investments. SRI's are basically mutual funds which select companies using criteria such as the companies not having anything to do with weapons production, tobacco, being environmentally responsible etc. You choose the criteria and the funds.
