Would Jesus buy this stock? The rise of Biblically Responsible Investing

Biblically Responsible Investing gains momentum as Christian investors seek portfolios aligned with biblical values through negative and positive screening methods.

Ted Jenkin is president of Exit Stage Left Advisors and partner at Exit Wealth.

Using BRI, investors seek to align their financial decisions with biblical principles. It’s not just about return on investment. It’s about honoring the Lord with how we invest the resources He has entrusted to us. Basically, you invest in companies that align with Christian values and avoid those whose business practices or social stances conflict with those values.

Over the past 30 plus years of my investment career, I’ve seen socially responsible investing, ethical investing, the huge push for ESG investing, and now we are starting to see the rise of Biblically Responsible Investing.
