Financially speaking, yes, absolutely. It’s “easy” and rather low risk. Yet… being on Lemmy I assume a lot of people reading this advice do care both about technology and privacy. Such funds often support, rationally, “winners” which right now would include e.g Meta, Microsoft, Google, etc. They could also include big banks with questionable practices, e.g HSBC, or “energy” company that basically stick to oil. This kind of companies might be at odd with what people want to support. I would thus suggest to check “how the sausage is made” by understanding which stocks are actually part of the fund.
