Hi, since there is no community dedicated for investing from EU out there I will ask here!

How do you approach investing for retirement?

All the US-boycotting movements suggests avoiding ETFs with US exposure but it also limits opportunities. From other hand we don’t like major corporations here on fediverse so I shouldn’t hope and profit from their growth. I guess euro stocks are more aligned with buy from EU movement and small cap stocks ETF may be more ethical choice. But I’m still not ready to do that move, as I have most of my savings in EUNL (Core MSCI World). I also have some exposure to gold and Apple specifically.

Or do you simply not pay attention to investing in stocks and more to investing in community/friends/skills?

I would love to read some your takes 😊

    It’s perfectly fine to have your own opinion.

    As for myself, I’m not opposed to major corporations per se and for that reason, no moral issues with investing as a whole. Currently my money is invested in an all-world ESG fund that includes a large exposure to the US. I’m not entirely comfortable with it but haven’t decided yet if I want to move my funds, and to which alternative.
