Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that aligning your faith and finances raises important questions. Whether you’re new to Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) or exploring how it fits within your broader financial plan, we’re here to provide clarity and guidance. Below are some of the most common questions we receive about what BRI is, how it works, and what it could mean for your financial journey.
What is B.R.I.?
Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) is an investment approach that aligns your financial decisions with your faith and values. It screens companies based on moral, ethical, and faith-based principles — investing in those whose practices reflect integrity, stewardship, and positive impact while avoiding industries or activities that conflict with biblical values.
Why should I invest in B.R.I.?
For many people of faith, investing isn’t just a financial decision — it’s a reflection of personal convictions. BRI allows you to pursue long-term growth while maintaining alignment with what matters most to you. It’s about being a good steward of both your resources and your influence, ensuring your money is working in ways that reflect your values as well as your goals.
I've heard of S.R.I., is this the same?
Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) and Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) share some similarities, but their motivations and criteria differ. SRI typically emphasizes environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors from a socially conscious perspective. BRI, on the other hand, is rooted in faith-based principles — emphasizing biblical values and stewardship rather than social or political agendas.
Ok, I get it, but will I give up performance?
That’s a great question — and a common one. While no investment strategy can guarantee results, historical data shows that Biblically Responsible Investing can perform competitively with traditional investment approaches. The focus of BRI is not only on potential returns but also on investing with integrity — combining purpose, prudence, and peace of mind, knowing your portfolio reflects your convictions.
How do I know if BRI is right for me?
The best way to determine if BRI fits your goals is through a personal conversation. Together, we’ll review your financial objectives, priorities, and current investments to see how closely they align with your values. Whether you’re just getting started or revisiting your strategy, we’ll walk with you every step of the way.
