*Biblical Responsible Investing came out of the Socially Responsible Investment movement as a way for Christians to invest according to their beliefs. Biblical Responsible Investing addresses the Christian agenda by aligning investment holdings in a portfolio with scriptural guidelines as outlined in the Bible. If a company traded on an exchange violates Biblical principles such as involvement in anyway whatsoever in abortion, pornography, anti-family entertainment/values or advocating promiscuous lifestyles such as giving domestic partner benefits, Biblical Responsible Investing strives to stay away from investing in those companies directly OR indirectly through a money manager, mutual fund or sub-account in a Variable Annuity.
