What You Can Do
Individual investors should expect their financial advisors to heed their ethical concerns, or else summon the moral courage to take their business elsewhere.
To whom much is given, much is expected
(Luke
12:48).
When it comes to employee-sponsored 401(k) or 403(b)
plans—often restricted to a few mainstream mutual-fund options—an investor can pursue three different avenues:
(1)
Petition the Human Resources Department to include an "ethical fund" or "self-directed brokerage window" option.
(2) Use an ethical ratings program like the eVALUEator
to pick the least objectionable fund available like the Timothy Plan.
(3) Stop participating altogether in favor of other tax-deferred but self-directed retirement vehicles such as IRAs or variable annuities.
Evangelical
churches, nonprofit organizations, and foundations
should adopt official ethical guidelines for their retirement, endowment, and other investments, or risk undermining the integrity of their entire ministry by supporting the cultural problems they seek to remedy.
Christian universities, colleges, and seminaries can legitimize the ethics they teach by establishing ethical investing policies as well. In addition to portfolio screening, these institutions of higher learning can also pursue shareholder action by forming committees among students, professors and alumni to research and advise voters on the ethical resolutions of their endowment's corporate proxies.
