Our Biblically Responsible Investing Philosophy (BRI)

At Steward Wealth Strategies, many clients desire an investment approach that reflects their biblical values. For those who want their portfolios to align closely with their convictions, our team is equipped to guide them through Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI). To support this work, our team earned the Christian Theology of Investing Certificate through the Eventide Center for Faith & Investing.


Our Biblically Responsible Investment portfolios are designed to provide broad diversification while investing in companies that serve the world in meaningful ways and avoiding those engaged in harmful or destructive practices.

  • Steer clear of companies whose practices conflict with biblical values, such as those that profit from harmful or unethical activities.

  • Invest in businesses that demonstrate positive, redemptive impact by promoting human flourishing, integrity, and stewardship.

  • Actively encourage companies to pursue higher standards of ethics, transparency, and long-term value creation through shareholder influence and advocacy.
