Past performance is no guarantee of future results

Historical time period: 03/09/17 - 03/09/22

Results may vary with each use and over time, dependent on selections made, including the time period. Outcomes are hypothetical in nature and dependent on the use of backtested performance for the Carbon Collective return. Carbon Collective’s returns are simulated to best demonstrate what the returns would have been if you had launched a portfolio using our sector-based, low-carbon strategy approximately one, three, or five years ago.

Betterment’s historical returns were taken directly from their website (you have to have an account). Vanguard’s portfolio is constructed to be a total market benchmark combining their total US stock market ETF (VTI) with their total US total bond market ETF (BND).  For further details and a description of the criteria and methodology used, including the tool's numbers and graphs, please read Carbon Collectives Portfolios vs Betterment and Vanguard's index portfolios.

All results are net of fees, including a 0.25% annual fee for Carbon Collective. We assume a management fee on the Vanguard portfolios of 0.00%. All returns include reinvested dividends.
