Does PortfolioPilot support ESG or socially responsible investing?

Yes. PortfolioPilot's recommendations and analysis work just as well for an ESG-focused portfolio as for a conventional one.

To apply ESG preferences:

  1. Open Preferences - Investment profile - scroll to Additional context.
  2. Type your ESG preference in plain language - for example, "Only suggest ESG-rated ETFs" or "Exclude fossil fuel companies" or "Prefer funds with high ESG scores."
  3. Save. PortfolioPilot's AI reads this free-text field and applies your preference when generating recommendations.

You can also ask the AI Assistant directly: "What are the best ESG ETFs for my portfolio?" or "Replace my current holdings with ESG equivalents."

For the most granular control, use the AI Equity Search to screen for stocks or ETFs by ESG criteria, then apply them to a draft portfolio via Top recommendations.
