Why Every Faith-Driven Investment Firm Needs to Hire a Theologian

Recently I got a prospectus from a faith-motivated advisory firm that outlines what they invest in as Christians. On one level, the responses were predictable. They don’t invest in alcohol, cannabis, pornography, or weapons. And they do invest in companies that have ethical leadership, policies that value employees, and a “positive societal impact.”But after reading […]

Investing and a Biblical Worldview

Christian investors face many questions, some of which are ethically complex. Should they seek to avoid “sin stocks” as a top priority? Should they seek to benefit from unfortunate market events that caused financial loss to others? Should they see the purpose of investing as simply maximizing wealth?Such questions cannot be answered by pointing to […]
Faith-Based Investing

“How can I deepen my relationships with existing clients while also differentiating my offering to appeal to prospects?” “How do I help my clients practice good stewardship by maximizing financial performance while also seeking to make a positive difference with their investments?” “I’m a Christian financial advisor, but I’m not sure what the Bible has to say about […]

This post highlights the work of Peak Financial Management, a presenting sponsor at a past February’s “Business for the Common Good” event. Many thanks to Peak Financial for their generous support!

As Chief Investment Officer of a Christian pension fund, it occurs to me frequently that 25,000 Australians have entrusted their retirement savings to us. This is a substantial responsibility. Our beneficiaries trust that we will work to the utmost of our abilities to ensure they are well-provided for so they can live a fruitful and […]

“Who is my neighbor?”That’s the question Robin John, CEO of Eventide Funds, encourages organizations to ask themselves. Business, he believes, has six neighbors: customers, employees, supply chains, communities, the environment, and society. Upon meeting John and his leadership team, we discovered their mutual interest in, and dedication to, the intersection of faith and work.

Church, Culture… And Business

Twenty years ago Michael Novak, in his book Business as a Calling, provided this snapshot of a particularly prominent Christian business leader: [The] chairman and chief executive of the largest natural gas company in the United States… some time ago announced publicly his company’s vision: “To become… the most innovating and reliable provider of clean […]

Biblically Responsible Investing

When preparing to introduce Robin John, the CEO of Eventide Asset Management, at our recent “Stocks, Bonds & Mutual Funds” event, I did what most people do when preparing a speaker intro: I googled him. Several articles popped up. One reporter called him “The Believer,” noting the rather strange language on their website: “business as […]

Investing with a Kingdom Focus

I have been interested in the stock market for as long as I can remember. A few years back, I had the opportunity to join a company that analyzed, consolidated, and synergized investment data. I quickly became aware that the world of investments was far more complicated than I had previously thought. I began to […]

How Should Christians Think About Investing?

Traditionally, most people have invested purely in search of profits. If you wanted to make a difference in the community, you would do that through your gifting.This resulted in a compartmentalized approach which essentially divided financial intentions into two buckets — one for investing and one for charitable giving. This approach means you are seeking to […]

Banking Alone

  Recently I received an urgent plea from Mike, a young investment banker in New York. Mike had just graduated with his BA in financial economics from Columbia University. Having read my review of Kevin Roose’s Young Money, he knew that investment banking meant 100 hour work weeks, acidic professional environments, and often working for […]
