Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can choose where you live, serve, learn, and give. What about where you invest? What if you could align your investments with God's heart? Imagine the impact that you could have. As Christians, we seek to make God a part of every decision that we make--the way we parent, lead, serve, and spend. But what if God has a purpose and plan for the investing dreams that he has given you? A community of ministries, businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, and fund managers have all experienced God awakening a movement, and it's bigger than simply avoiding "sin stocks." This movement is all about investing in human flourishing and driving capital into initiatives that stand for something significant. Faith Driven Investing defines this movement and helps you envision how your capital can grow and fund God's purposes in this world.

Download or read book Investing and Faith written by Steve French and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do your investments align with your values? Alignment of values is increasingly in focus. You've seen it, for instance, when advertisers withdraw their support from a celebrity. But what about Christians and their investment portfolios? Do their investments support their underlying faith values?In the past, Faith-Based Investing (FBI) was not always looked upon positively, whether because of a perception of poor performance or the limits of uncertain capabilities. But this is a new day. Analytics have advanced, and outcomes demonstrate that it's possible to have great financial performance and investments that align with faith-based values.This book, led by Steve French, president of The Signatry, as general editor, points to this day in Faith-Based Investing. Twelve authors, experts in their fields, collaboratively present three life-changing realities:1) The competitiveness of returns on investments,2) The Christ-centered environment that encourages godly stewardship,3) Biblical screens that avoid supporting organizations inconsistent with your values.Stewardship is more than just growing and protecting assets that God has entrusted to you-how you invest also matters. Let's rewrite the reputation of Faith-Based Investing and rethink where we invest the resources God has entrusted to us."To become excellent stewards, we must first see God's ultimate vision for His creation and for His vast, royal family-beginning with the end in mind."-Rachel McDonough

Download or read book Portfolio Decisions for Faith Based Investors written by Zaheer Anwer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the idiosyncratic risk, risk-return trade off and payout decisions for faith-based investors including Islamic Shariah compliant and ethical investors, who may be paying a cost for their belief system in the form of under-diversification of portfolios and additional monitoring costs owing to their unique risk profile. There is a growing number of investors who are motivated by social, environmental, and ethical considerations in their investment decisions. They apply a set of investment screens to include or exclude assets based on ecological, social, corporate governance or ethical criteria. This socially responsible investment (SRI), ethical investment or sustainable investment style is prevalent since religious or ethical values matter to investors even if the risk-adjusted returns are lower than those of conventional investments. The author addresses these issues for Islamic and socially responsible portfolios in detail by using proprietary data of Dow Jones Indices from the United States. The findings are a unique and valuable addition to the existing corporate finance, portfolio management and Islamic finance literature.

Book excerpt: Use rule-based investment strategies to maintain trading and investment discipline, and protect yourself from fear, greed, pride, and other costly emotions! Since the mid-1990s, assets under management in rule-based or non-discretionary hedge funds have outgrown those in discretionary or qualitative funds. Recent research shows that rule-based funds have outperformed discretionary funds on a risk-adjusted basis over the past 30 years, and have especially outperformed during recent financial crises.

Combining academic rigor and practical applications, it explains what rule-based investment strategies are, how to construct them, and how to distinguish bad ones from good ones. Unlike any other guide, it systematically covers every facet of the topic, including Forex, rates, emerging markets, equity, volatility, and other key topics.
