Sustainable Passive Income Systems - 2026 Edition

Most guides to ethical investing sell you a feeling. This one gives you a checklist.

Sustainable Passive Income Systems is a 14-page, designed PDF for people who want their income-producing money to reflect what they care about - and who want to verify the label before they trust it.

Global sustainable fund assets sit near $3.5 trillion. But size isn't substance. Plenty of "sustainable" funds hold nearly the same companies as a plain index fund, at a meaningfully higher fee. This guide shows you how to tell the difference, using free public documents, in about twenty minutes per fund.
