There are some ETFs that focus on "ethical" and "socially responsible" companies. I don't think Vanguard has any. DSI seems to be the biggest one.

Vanguard just launched VEIGX https://investor.vanguard.com/mutual-funds/profile/overview/... as their environmental, social, and governance index fund.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

It's interesting that this is an actively managed fund. There are actually a few indices for this kind of thing but apparently Vanguard is not using them: https://www.msci.com/esg-indexes

ESGV as an ETF of this.

VFTSX

Closed to new investors.

"Closed" like all their investor funds which were replaced by the cheaper admiral funds. You wouldn't say vtsmx is closed, it's just replaced by vtsax. Same deal here.

It's not actually closed. Just buy the admiral version instead, same thing but cheaper.
