Hi Jay, It seems VSGX and ESGV are no longer on Degiro. You can find other ESG ETFs on Degiro by searching for ESG and clicking on ETFs in the filter. Pick a few of those and google the fact sheet to see which ones align best to your values. You can also look those up specifically on the Morningstar site to see how they are rated in relation to ESG. Hope that helps. Some examples I can see on Degiro are: EDMV, SASU, SGAS.

I am quite new to investing but I was really interested in the VSGX and ESGV. I am not sure what am I doing wrong , but I can’t find it on Degiro. May you have any suggestion?

Thank you a lot

Jay

Hey Mark, Thanks for the feedback, yes I see now that those funds aren’t available on Degiro. I never checked when I wrote the post. Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll update the post once I decide which ones to take the plunge on. Let me know if you decide on any too and hopefully, we hear back from others on their experience too.

Similar to other comments, just want to commend you on some great information here and for helping to demystifying this whole area from an Irish-investor point of view. It’s really helpful so thank you!
I’m relatively new to this, keen to take the ETF plunge and am also interesting in investing responsibly/from a sustainability point of view. So I was very interested to see your ESGV and VSGX suggestions. However as far as I can see, these two are not available on DeGiro (presumably because US funds?), although they may be available via other platforms? Pity because the Vanguard approach really appeals.
However as alternatives available on DeGiro, iShares seems to offer an SRI World fund (SUSW), an ‘ESG-Enhanced’ (EDM6) and SRI (IESG) Developed Europe fund, and a USA SRI (SUAS) fund. They give a good overview of their various ESG categories here: https://www.ishares.com/uk/professional/en/themes/sustainable-investing/how-to-build-sustainable-core-get-started
I’m sure there are other providers on DeGiro with offerings in this space also, would be interested if others have any recommendations. I am interested in starting an ETF portfolio but with a sustainable theme, so am actively looking at the likes of these at the mo…
Thanks again!

Thanks so much 🙂 Glad it’s of some use. I haven’t made any adjustments yet as I’ve still to receive a paycheck after returning to work after maternity leave! Once I have a bit of spare cash I will be looking to re-jig my portfolio a bit, moving more towards accumulating ETFs and hopefully some more sustainable ones. I will keep the blog updated once I do make some updates.

Just wanted to drop a line to say I’m absolutely delighted to have found your page. So much great content specific to Irish investors. I’ve been wanting to invest in ETF’s for quite a while but the tax implications was putting me off. However I feel I’m a lot better researched having found your site so thank you! Can I ask if you’ve made any adjustments to your ETF portfolio, since the pandemic, or the addition of more sustainable ETF’s as in this post?
