Small and some medium sized companies can resist because they are not tied to money center banks and hedge funds for funding. And as an investment vehicle (do your own research!) small companies historically outperform large cap companies. Local and regional companies sourced from local and possibly regional banks and funding sources will not be as tied to social credit scores.

I have had very frank discussions with my financial advisor. He understands and agrees with my desire to avoid those ESG/DEI/CRT companies. However, when we discuss this from an investment perspective, he does not believe he can meet his fiduciary responsibilities if he eliminates all such companies....the remaining universe is too small.
