The Adviser invests in securities only if they meet the Funds' investment and religious requirements, and as such, the returns may be lower or higher than if the Adviser made decisions based solely on investment considerations. The Funds' method of security selection may or may not be successful and the Funds may underperform or outperform the stock market as a whole. All mutual funds are subject to market risk, including possible loss of principal. The Funds' investments in small and mid-capitalization companies could experience greater volatility than investments in large-capitalization companies. AVEWX invests in foreign securities and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations. Investments in these securities can involve additional risks relating to political, economic or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets; fluctuations in foreign currencies; and withholding or other taxes. AVEFX invests primarily in fixed income securities and as a result the Fund is also subject to the followings risks: interest rate risk, credit risk, credit rating risk, prepayment and extension risk and liquidity risk. AVEAX and AVERX are classified as non-diversified and may therefore invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers than funds that are diversified. At times, the Funds may overweight a position in a particular issuer or emphasize investment in a limited number of issuers, industries or sectors, which may cause their share prices to be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence affecting an issuer than funds that are more widely diversified. The issuers that the Funds may emphasize will vary from time to time.  Request a prospectus, which includes investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses and other information that you should read and consider carefully before investing.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Strathcona Regional District will not use $28,000 of its gas tax funds to help the Cortes Island Food Bank. At their October 22, 2025 meeting, 7 of the 14 district directors voted against a motion to fund the food bank. Directors opposed to the motion were concerned about the potential impact that supporting a third party organization could have on future SRD applications for gas tax funding. As Chief Administrative Officer David Leitch explained, “  I'm not saying $28,000 is a dealbreaker. I don't honestly believe it is, but moving forward, I don't think we can take the same approach when the number is $200,000 or $500,000.” “If you're giving your gas tax money to third parties, are you saying you don't have any infrastructure need yourself?” Mark Vonesch, Regional Director for Cortes Island, responded,  “One of the challenges on Cortes is that we don't have SRD capital projects to invest gas tax lending. So we do have to take these extra steps to be able to provide it through a third party.” “I spoke with one of the folks involved with the food bank today, and they said that over the last three years, usage has gone up by a hundred percent every year. That's a lot of seniors, folks that are on pensions and really limited incomes. One of the interesting things he mentioned was that there's a mental health component to this as well, and that when folks get access to good healthy food and have some stability around food security, that really impacts other parts their life, including reducing the likelihood to need medical support and other costs to government systems. This is a grant request for $28,000 to help them finish this.”

Recorded in early October 2025, we discuss the recent headlines around high profile collapses of some subprime lenders and how such collapses do not necessarily portend a systemic risk to the broader corporate lending environment and how investment opportunities may emerge with the rise in credit volatility.  BondBloxx disclaimer: Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing.

Open-End vs. Closed-End Funds: The Real Difference (Without the Fluff) Let's clear something up — not all funds are created equal. You've probably heard of mutual funds and closed-end funds, and maybe someone even told you they're “basically the same.” They're not. Not even close. Here's the no-BS breakdown. 1. Open-End Funds: The Mutual Fund You Actually Know This is your classic mutual fund. It's “open” because new shares can be created or redeemed every day. You invest directly with the fund company, not through the market. Price: Always based on NAV (Net Asset Value), calculated at the end of each trading day. No discounts. No premiums. Liquidity: You can cash out anytime the market's open, and the fund company literally redeems your shares for cash. Flow of Money: Investors move in and out freely — the fund grows or shrinks with investor demand. Example: Think Fidelity Contrafund or Vanguard 500 Index Fund. Boring. Reliable. Steady as she goes. Bottom line: You buy it, they issue new shares. You sell it, they cancel shares. NAV is king. 2. Closed-End Funds: The Wall Street Wildcard Closed-end funds (CEFs) are built different. When they launch, they issue a fixed number of shares in an IPO — just like a company going public. After that, those shares trade on an exchange, like stocks. Price: Whatever the market says. Could be above NAV (premium) or below NAV (discount) — and it often is. Liquidity: You trade them like any stock — intraday, any time. Leverage: Many closed-end funds borrow money to juice returns. When markets swing, these things move hard — up or down. Flow of Money: New investors don't give money to the fund; they buy existing shares from other investors. Bottom line: CEFs live in the market, not in the manager's office. Prices move with supply and demand, not the fund's actual value. It's Wall Street meets Vegas.

Harman explains how Fotello's mission remains focused on helping photographers deliver their best work while saving money — a guiding principle for every product decision the company makes. Key Highlights 1. Twilight Photo Editing Harman introduces the upgraded Twilight AI feature, which allows creators to convert daytime images into natural, realistic twilight scenes in just one click. The AI maintains architectural accuracy — nothing inside or outside the property is altered — ensuring ethical photo representation for real estate listings. 2. Unified Delivery Platform Fotello now enables users to deliver all digital assets—photos, videos, 3D tours, and floor plans—through one link. Real estate agents can preview, download, and even request revisions directly from the portal, reducing back-and-forth communication. 3. White-Label Sub-Domain For professionals seeking a fully branded experience, Fotello offers a white-label sub-domain option that removes all Fotello branding from delivery pages and emails. This feature allows photographers to present the portal as their own—ideal for brand consistency and client trust. 4. Integrated Payments The newly launched Fotello Payments integrates seamlessly with Stripe, allowing photographers to collect payments directly without additional Fotello transaction fees. Funds are deposited daily, and all payout data can be viewed and exported from a single dashboard. 5. Instant and Same-Day Delivery Harman shares how some users have installed Starlink internet in their vehicles to enable instant delivery of photos right after shoots. This capability allows creators to offer same-day or even immediate turnaround—either as a premium service or as a competitive differentiator. 6. Onboarding and Support Fotello has streamlined its onboarding to remove previous friction points.

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees are showing up to work and not getting paid on time during the second longest government shutdown. State Department employees who process passports are among those working without pay.

Federal News Network's Jory Heckman has been covering this issue, and he joins us now with more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if we stopped investing like bystanders and started investing like owners and “neighbors” in the story of our finances?When you invest like an owner, our portfolios can reflect faithful stewardship and create real-world impact. Robin John joins us today to share practical ways to move from passive investing to purposeful ownership.Robin John is co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Eventide Asset Management, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. He's also the author of the book, The Good Investor: How Your Work Can Confront Injustice, Love Your Neighbor, and Bring Healing to the World.Investing vs. SpeculatingMany people confuse investing with speculating. Speculating—like day trading—is often no different than gambling. It's focused on short-term gains, trying to predict what the market will do tomorrow. But investing is about ownership. When you buy a stock, you're buying a piece of a company. You become a co-owner.That means your money is participating in real work—serving customers, employing people, and creating products that impact lives. As Christians, we should invest in companies we believe are doing good for the world, not just generating profits.Speculation is reactive and anxious. Investing, when done faithfully, allows us to rest in the knowledge that our capital is working toward purposes aligned with God's design for flourishing.The Responsibility of OwnershipOwnership changes everything. It confers ethical responsibility.If you owned a neighborhood store, you'd care deeply about how it serves your community, treats employees, and impacts the environment. In the same way, being a shareholder means you share in both the profits and the moral implications of what that company does.That's why Eventide Asset Management believes that Christians must think like owners, not traders. Ownership means engaging thoughtfully with the companies we invest in—voting proxies, engaging in dialogue with management, and ensuring that our capital is stewarded with integrity. Our investing isn't just about earning; it's about embodying our faith in the marketplace.Why Passive Investing Deserves a Closer LookIn recent years, many investors have turned to index funds or “passive” strategies. While these offer simplicity and diversification, I believe we should pause and ask: What are we actually owning?As Christians, we can't do anything passively—not even investing. Romans 12:2 calls us to avoid conforming to the patterns of this world, to renew our minds, and to discern what is good. That means we can't blindly invest in every company just because it's part of a market index.Do we really want to profit from industries like pornography, abortion, gambling, or tobacco? Our calling is to pursue good profits—profits that come from serving others and honoring God.To meet that need, Eventide has created systematic ETFs—investment funds that provide broad market exposure while intentionally excluding harmful industries. They're designed for believers who want to participate in the market without compromising biblical conviction.The Neighbor Map: Loving People Through InvestingIn his book, The Good Investor, Robin shares something he calls the Neighbor Map—a framework that helps us see all the “neighbors” affected by a business.God's command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19) isn't abstract. It applies to the business world. At Eventide, they have identified six key neighbors every company should serve:Customers – Are the company's products truly good for those who use them?Employees – Are they treated with dignity, fairness, and care?Suppliers – Are business relationships ethical and respectful?Communities – Does the company create meaningful jobs and contribute positively to local life?The Environment – Is creation being stewarded well? Caring for creation is one of the most direct ways to love the poor, because it's the poor who suffer most from pollution and neglect.Society – Is the company contributing to the flourishing of the broader culture?Faithful investing isn't only about avoiding harm—it's also about embracing good. When we invest in companies that love their neighbors well, we participate in God's ongoing work of restoration.As investors, we're not distant spectators. We're partners. At Eventide, they engage directly with the companies we invest in—raising concerns, asking hard questions, and encouraging leadership to act with wisdom and compassion.Their goal isn't confrontation—it's collaboration. Whether it's addressing supply chain ethics, employee safety, or corporate philanthropy, we approach these conversations as co-owners who want to see good companies become even better.Clarity for Every Christian InvestorMany believers are unaware of what their money supports. That's why the team at Eventide created GoodInvestor.com—a free tool that allows you to screen your portfolio and see exactly what you're investing in. You can also connect with advisors who understand faith-based investing and can help you align your portfolio with your convictions.We hope that Christians everywhere would invest with joy, clarity, and confidence—knowing that their capital is serving God's purposes in the world. When we invest, we're not just moving money—we're shaping the world. Every dollar we deploy carries moral and spiritual weight.Our prayer is that more believers would see investing as a form of worship—a way to love God and neighbor through the stewardship of capital. Together, we can build a world that rejoices, where profits are good, people are valued, and creation is honored.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Back in 2010, my parents set up a life estate warranty deed for their home, adding my siblings and me to the deed. My mom passed away eight years ago, and my dad passed in December 2024. We're preparing to sell the house now, but I keep hearing that we need to use a “life expectancy table” to calculate the home's value for capital gains or losses. Can you explain how that works and what steps we'll need to take for the taxes?I've saved up three months' worth of income—about $2,300 in total—and I still owe around $500 on a HELOC and another $500 on a credit card with interest rates of about 7% and 8.9%. My question is: Should I treat my savings separately from my three-month emergency fund? For example, if something unexpected happens—like a car repair—I don't want to touch my emergency fund. Is there a certain percentage or guideline for how much should be in an emergency fund versus regular savings?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Good Investor: How Your Work Can Confront Injustice, Love Your Neighbor, and Bring Healing to the World by Robin C.

The Adviser invests in securities only if they meet the Funds' investment and religious requirements, and as such, the returns may be lower or higher than if the Adviser made decisions based solely on investment considerations. The Funds' method of security selection may or may not be successful and the Funds may underperform or outperform the stock market as a whole. All mutual funds are subject to market risk, including possible loss of principal. The Funds' investments in small and mid-capitalization companies could experience greater volatility than investments in large-capitalization companies. AVEWX invests in foreign securities and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations. Investments in these securities can involve additional risks relating to political, economic or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets; fluctuations in foreign currencies; and withholding or other taxes. AVEFX invests primarily in fixed income securities and as a result the Fund is also subject to the followings risks: interest rate risk, credit risk, credit rating risk, prepayment and extension risk and liquidity risk. AVEAX and AVERX are classified as non-diversified and may therefore invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers than funds that are diversified. At times, the Funds may overweight a position in a particular issuer or emphasize investment in a limited number of issuers, industries or sectors, which may cause their share prices to be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence affecting an issuer than funds that are more widely diversified. The issuers that the Funds may emphasize will vary from time to time.  Request a prospectus, which includes investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses and other information that you should read and consider carefully before investing.
