VALUE Investment Approach
While everyone defines biblically responsible investing just a little bit differently, we’ve laid out our general screening philosophy below. We look for investments that closely align with this approach and have shown a track record of doing so.
We want to own companies that…
Value the Dignity of All People
We seek to own companies that flourish by adding value rather than extracting value. This means we avoid investing in companies engaged in abortion, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and pornography.
Act Justly
We seek to own companies that treat employees, customers, and suppliers ethically. We will avoid investing in companies where leadership seems willing to push the envelope of what’s fair or legal.
Lead as Stewards
We seek to own companies that show the ability to manage their resources effectively for the benefit of all stakeholders. This means we will avoid companies that tend to be too focused on one stakeholder at the expense of all other stakeholders.
Understand Family
We seek to own companies that understand and promote the family unit. We will avoid investing in companies that create violent forms of entertainment or anti-family entertainment.
Embrace Environmental Care
We seek to own companies that care for the environment through products, services, and supply chains. This means we avoid investing in companies not committed to sustainable business practices.
