Biblically Responsible Investing

Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) aims to align investment portfolios with the values and principles found in the Bible.

Biblically Responsible Portfolios, implemented by the asset managers we work with, focus on several key aspects:

• Screening investments: Asset managers carefully screen companies and investments to ensure they do not engage in activities that conflict with Biblical values. This typically involves excluding companies involved in industries such as gambling, pornography, abortion, tobacco, and alcohol.

• Positive selection: Asset managers actively seek investments in companies that contribute positively to society and exhibit strong ethical practices. Examples include companies involved in clean energy, healthcare, education, affordable housing, or those with a proven track record of strong corporate governance and fair labor practices.

• Stewardship: Asset managers believe that investing is a form of stewardship, entrusting them with the responsibility to manage your resources in a way that aligns with your faith. Their focus is on long-term, sustainable growth, rather than short-term gains, which often come at the expense of ethical considerations.

• Performance and risk management: While asset managers' primary goal is to align your investments with your faith, they also strive to deliver competitive returns and manage risk effectively. They diversify your portfolio across various asset classes, industries, and geographical locations to achieve this balance.

By adopting a Biblically Responsible Portfolio managed by an asset manager, you can feel confident that your investments are in harmony with your faith while still working towards your financial goals.
