Biblically Responsible Investing

Faith based investing applies Christian values and scripture to issues facing shareholders and stakeholders regarding moral and social principles. This strategy allows investors to be good stewards of God’s gifts and respect the foundational beliefs of the Christian faith. BRI* considers financial return while also seeking to glorify God through the investment process. 

Why is this so important?

This white paper highlights some key principles, opportunities and developments.

• Honor God. It is important to use our financial resources to bring honor to God as the scripture says, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31).
  
  
• Peace of mind. Knowledge that you are not profiting from the abuses of others. “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11)
  
  
• Joyful Reward. There will be great joy for you when you stand before the Lord having faithfully honored Him in your life. “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.” (Matthew 25:21)

Simply put, for those who want to invest their conscience, we think there are better investments available. When it comes to creating a values based portfolio, we want to help you make a difference.

*Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) has certain risks based on the fact that the criteria excludes securities of certain issuers for non-financial reasons and, therefore, investors may forgo some market opportunities and the selection of investments available will be smaller.
