@SJ – Agreed. That’s one of the point I made above. Also, thank you for using the word “elegant” — no one ever said that about my idea before.

Interesting post – my firm matches investors to financial advisors (ClaroConnect.com ) and the fastest growing trend we have seen over the past year is for investors searching for socially responsible investment advisors. Your idea on saving investment fees and donating the difference makes sense, however, many socially responsible investors are passionate about a specific topic like avoiding companies in Darfur, and are going to do everything they can, including working with an investment advisor who can screen for this.
