I'll have a go
the bank has some demographic data on you that groups you within (probably younger?) set of people, who have a higher chance of saying yes, to investing in that type of fund
its not about esg or promoting any agenda its about the woman at the bank and the bank itself meeting sales targets
because not everyone is the same, there's plenty of other capital from other groups to invest in weapons
Exactly. They'd sell a baby heroin if they could.
Trudeau's Lib party are already doing this in Canada. The taxpayer picks up the tab. It's called 'safe supply' and is run by private companies.
but...
i do think your logic is right:
if esg is mainstream, and ukraine defense is mainstream,
then mainstream esg theme should include defense of ukraine (shouldn't it?)
im not a logician or philosopher though, but yeah i think you have found another logical fallacy in mainstream narratives
no, she offered many things as usual, it was not very well targeted (and I did not buy anything).
of course the bank will offer whatever is in demand, they want their fees
what strikes me as weird is the contradiction in world view of the people that buy this, because they tend to be politically progressive and pro weapons to Ukraine, yet they would like their investments to not be about weapons.
