It’s no secret that the biggest problem with sustainable investing has been that the funds in that category often underperform the market. But the better-kept—and even more alarming—secret is that many of them aren’t all that sustainable, either.
The core strategy of what is known as socially responsible investing—screening out companies that manufacture products, such as tobacco or weapons, that could harm society—has long produced mediocre results. Sure enough, two of the names that started it all, Domini Social Investments and Calvert Investments, landed at the bottom of our one-year performance ranking of the 200 most sustainable funds.

Sustainable investing has quietly gone from a fringe obsession to a movement that has captured the interest of a wide swath of investors. So it might come as a surprise that sustainable investing is still nascent in the otherwise booming world of exchange-traded funds.
Out of more than 1,700 ETFs, just 35 check the sustainable box, according to Morningstar, and 10 of those made their debut this year. While ETFs as a whole are steadily winning market share from mutual funds, assets in sustainable ETFs—a mere $4 billion as of the end of August—are a far cry from the $174 billion in their mutual fund counterparts.
