Impact Investing

Eight out of ten Americans say their personal values play an important role in how they manage their finances.

Today, more and more investors want to know that their investments are making a positive difference in the world around them – not just in their portfolios’ returns.

Honor the Lord with your possessions
and with the first produce of your entire harvest…
Proverbs 3:9, CSB

At GuideStone, we believe in investing to advance kingdom impact.

For decades, we have been one of the leaders of faith-based investing.

Over fifty years ago, we established our Exclusionary Screening policy that still stands today.

And through our Corporate Engagement program, we actively encourage companies to adopt more Christ-honoring business practices.

But we believe that Christians may have a unique opportunity to engage the world and make a difference for the Kingdom of God with our financial resources through Impact Investing.

Impact Investing invests in companies and organizations actively striving to make a difference in the world through their products and services.

When it is in your power,
don’t withhold good from the one to whom it belongs.
Proverbs 3:27, CSB

At GuideStone, we’ve created Impact Investing strategies that should uphold the Christian values we’ve always held, while focusing on our three Impact Themes:

• And the Stewardship of God’s Creation.

Our strategies invest in endeavors that should:

• Protect life, enhance living conditions and proclaim the Gospel
• Improve health care and provide advancements in technology, education and employment training
