This Firm Practices Faith-Based Investing

Even Tide Investments has been around for 17 years. We manage roughly 7.5 billion dollars in assets across our mutual funds and ETF business lines. We've been a thought leader in the faith-based investing movement. I think when folks think about faith-based investing, they typically think about a restricted list or a Catholic screening approach.

We've been at the nexus of implementing an investment philosophy that seeks to--our tagline is investing that makes the world rejoice. What does that mean? As faith-driven investors, we try to avoid profiting from many different issues. The big obvious ones are related to addiction and the destruction of life.

We've also implemented this investment philosophy where we believe, as a way to love our neighbors, we're seeking businesses that are loving their neighbors, and we interpret that as a company's stakeholders. We take a particular focus on employees and customers as the primary stakeholders in a business, but we also consider other stakeholders. We're doing this in a way to achieve our mission that's driven by Christian values and the ethics behind that.

We also believe that value creation is an underappreciated source of alpha in the marketplace. We've grown from this kind of boutique shop. Our primary legacy competence is in the high conviction fundamental active strategies. We have a particular expertise within the biotech space, but since we've entered the ETF business line a little over a year ago, we've expanded our offerings to include other factors like dividend growth, midcap, but also your typical style boxes. Our latest creation, if you will, is our first XUS mandate in this international ETF.
