Biblically Responsible Investing

We use a tool that analyzes eight important broad screens on 63 different parameters. The tool scans for activities of concern and builds an extensive catalog corporate violations of these Biblical principles. Based on your values and religious beliefs, we can create a portfolio that aligns with your values.

In today's changing world and values, investing is about more than financial returns. In this video produced by Eventide Funds, one of our Values-Based Investing partners, Eventide Chief Investment Officer Finny Kuruvilla, MD PhD, uses Proverbs to explain the Bible's stance on ill-gotten gains.

We are, thirdly, to gain all we can without hurting our neighbour. But this we may not, cannot do, if we love our neighbor, as ourselves. We cannot, if we love everyone as ourselves, hurt anyone in his substance… Hereby all pawn-broking is excluded… we are not allowed to “do evil that good may come… “ Neither may we gain by hurting our neighbor and his body. Therefore, we may not sell anything which tends to impair health. Such is, eminently, all that liquid fire, commonly called drams or spirituous liquor’s… And what is the sellers’ gain? Is it not the blood of these men?… A curse is in the midst of them: The curse of God, cleaves to the stones, the timber, the furniture of them. The curse of God is in their gardens, their walks, their grooves; a fire that burns to the northern most Hell! Blood, blood is there: The foundation, the floor, the walls, the roof are stained with blood!

This is a dear-bought gain. And so is whatever is procured by hurting our neighbour in his soul; by ministering, suppose, either directly, or indirectly, to his under chastity, or intemperance, which, certainly none can do, who has any fear of God, or any real desire of pleasing Him. It nearly concerns all those to consider this, who have anything to do with taverns, victualling-houses, opera-houses, play-houses, or any other places of public, fashionable diversion. If these profit, the souls of men, you are clear; your employment is good, and you’re gain innocent; but if they are sinful in themselves, or natural inlets, to sin of various kinds, then, it is to be feared, you have a sad account to make. O, beware, lest God say in that day, “These had perished in their iniquity, but their blood do I require at the hands!”
