The whole site should be https and never load assets that are not -- from the start. Especially since it's an investing site with access to sensitive information.


It should really redirect automatically and not rely on you getting the "https" part of the URL right manually.


that's a great question. The management fee is slightly higher than online advisors that use broad-index ETFs (Wealthfront, Betterment charge ~.25% to .35%). However to get to an apples-to-apples comparison, you have to include the ETFs expense ratio (which can range from .15% to .45%). When you look at other socially responsible investing options (mostly mutual funds), the 0.6% fee is rather low.

I wrote a post about historic performance of socially responsible investment (SRI) funds. Academic studies show that SRI funds meet or beat the benchmark in 89% of studies. http://blog.valuedinvesting.com/performance-and-responsible-...


Ahh, I see. So you're investing in stocks therefore there's no added expenses beyond the 0.6%. I definitely agree that 0.6% is lower than a typical managed mutual fund management fee.

Thanks for the clarification!
