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 111 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.

Download or read book Crazy Love written by Francis Chan and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised & Updated Edition! God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts—it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.
