Your Portfolio Should Reflect

What You Believe.

Most Christians have no idea their retirement accounts are funding abortion, pornography, and human trafficking. That ends today.

Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) aligns every dollar you invest with the values you live by · and research shows it doesn't cost you a penny in performance to do it.

A conversation we have more often than you'd think...

"We tithe. We pray over our finances. We've never once thought about what our retirement account is actually funding."

We hear this from nearly every new client. Faithful, generous, values-driven people, who had no idea their portfolio held companies profiting from things they'd never knowingly support.

What a biblical screening review often reveals

  • ×Companies manufacturing or distributing abortion drugs
  • ×Businesses profiting from pornography and exploitation
  • ×Corporations funding LGBT activism contrary to Scripture
  • ×Industries built on gambling, tobacco, and addiction
  • ×State-owned enterprises tied to human rights violations

What we do about it

  • Screen your full portfolio for biblical alignment
  • Replace misaligned holdings with faith-based alternatives
  • Monitor continuously so your portfolio stays aligned as companies change

Understanding Your Options

What Is Biblically Responsible Investing?

Biblically Responsible Investing is simply this: putting your money where your faith is. It is a disciplined, research-backed approach to investing that screens your portfolio against biblical values · removing companies that profit from what God calls evil, and seeking companies that operate with integrity and create genuine good in the world.

It is not a niche product or a compromise. It is faithful stewardship applied to the part of your financial life that most Christians have never thought to examine.

How It Works

Three Commitments. One Aligned Portfolio.

Screen Out

Exclude What God Calls Evil

Every company is evaluated against 14 categories of concern. Any involvement automatically means exclusion from biblically responsible portfolios.

  • ×Abortion and abortifacient drugs
  • ×Pornography and sexual exploitation
  • ×Gambling, tobacco, and cannabis
  • ×LGBT activism contrary to Scripture
  • ×Human trafficking and exploitation
  • ×Embryonic stem cell research
  • ×State-owned enterprises tied to human rights abuses

Screen For

Seek What Honors God

Companies that pass the exclusionary screen are evaluated across 26 positive categories · rewarding genuine blessing to employees, communities, and the world.

  • Business ethics and integrity
  • Ethical labor and human rights
  • Customer welfare and product safety
  • Supply chain responsibility
  • Community impact and social good
  • Environmental stewardship
  • Governance and fair competition

Monitor

Stay Aligned as the World Changes

Companies change. BRI is not a one-time event · it is an ongoing commitment to keeping your portfolio aligned through continuous monitoring.

  • Continuous screening via Inspire Insight
  • Annual lookback period with current data
  • Portfolio adjustments when companies shift
  • Regular reviews to ensure alignment
  • Shareholder engagement for biblical change
