Is it possible to invest in companies that treat people and the environment well WITHOUT sacrificing your goals? We believe the answer is yes when you look at Sound’s Faith-Based Investing approach.
Faith-Based Investing White Paper
Almost 3 out of 4 Christians don’t realize Faith-Based Investing even exists!
When you invest, you’re helping a company expand its reach and grow. We want to help the companies that will use that expansion for good. That’s why we screen out those that profit from human rights abuse, human trafficking, pornography, and other actions. That’s the first step in our process to create a group of companies to consider that keep our decisions pure and true to our calling.
God gives us direction - even for our money.
The scriptures say a lot about money; in fact, it’s one of the most covered topics. God wants to make sure we put our trust and faith in Him and not something we’ve created. (1 Tim 6: 17-19) He also gives us a clear direction of how we should treat everything around us, both people and the earth since He created them. (Gen 1: 27-30) Finally, God himself gives us direction on how our investment philosophy should look and an attitude we should take with regard to those riches. (Ecc 11: 1-7)
What sets Sound Faith-Based Investing apart?
We feel equally as strong about our spiritual calling AND our ability to make money. They are connected, and we hope as you have grown in wealth, so will the amount you give and share with others. In addition, Sound Financial gives back 10% of our top-line revenue from this Faith-Based Investing strategy to support organizations fighting against the negative forces in our world.
