Summary

How can Christians navigate the challenges of working in finance? Can investing serve a greater purpose, or is it all about building wealth? Robert Doll, CFA, chief equity strategist and senior portfolio manager at Nuveen, talks with Jeff Haanen and Joanna Meyer about his faith and his decades of work as an investor.

Highlights

On Christians working in finance:

"God wants his children in all professions. We need to infiltrate the world, if you will, and spread the gospel, both in word and deed."

On misplaced identity:

"I need to know where my identity is, first and foremost, so I can be able to lead, to guide, and provide advice...I am not a creature of the stock market;  I'm a child of the king. And that gives me...that assurance and that stability."
