Israel is a nation often in the news but seldom for its potential as an investment.​Israel is a tiny country but a powerhouse for investing opportunities, particularly in the tech sector. Brian Mumbert joins us today to examine Israel in a different light.Brian Mumbert is Vice President and Regional Sales Executive at Timothy Plan, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Is It Safe to Invest in Israel?Despite frequent headlines about conflict in the Middle East, Israel stands out as a remarkably resilient nation with an entrepreneurial spirit.Israelis have a low view of debt culturally. In fact, at one point, the government even sent out piggy banks to every citizen to encourage savings and wise stewardship. That mindset—combined with a tech-forward economy—creates strong fundamentals that appeal to values-based investors.Understandably, some investors may wonder about the safety of investing in a country with frequent regional conflict. Israel is regulated just like the U.S. They have their own stock exchange—the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange—and the top 125 companies are listed on the Tel Aviv 125 index.Even during times of war, Israel's economy continues to operate. Brian compared it to the U.S. during World War II: while volatility occurred, the Dow still gained over 50% from 1939 to 1945.A Developed Economy with Room to GrowIsrael graduated from the emerging markets category to a developed economy in 2009. While this was a major step forward, it ironically resulted in less attention from global investors, since many international funds tend to favor larger developed economies like Japan or those in Europe.Still, the fundamentals are strong. Israel's unemployment and inflation rates remain low, and the U.S. continues to be a committed ally.Israel has earned the nickname “Startup Nation” for good reason. Its high-tech sector employs 12% of the workforce and generates 20% of the country's GDP.Many Israeli companies don't become household names because giants like Apple, Google, and Amazon acquire them. Notable examples include:Mobileye—A leader in automotive safety tech.Waze—The crowd-sourced navigation app developed to navigate Jerusalem's winding roads.Cherry Tomatoes—Yes, even innovations in agriculture like drip irrigation and cherry tomatoes can be traced back to Israeli ingenuity.The government's support of tech innovation has made Israel the third-largest tech hub globally by capital raised—just behind Silicon Valley and New York.While tech leads the way, Israel's financial sector is also strong due to the cultural avoidance of debt. This contrasts sharply with many Western nations. Innovations in agriculture (like drip irrigation) and strong export activity also contribute to Israel's economic resilience.Over 50% of Israel's exports are tech-related; major U.S. companies like Apple have invested heavily in Israeli startups, demonstrating the global demand for their innovations.Israel's global relationships are improving, with normalization efforts such as the Abraham Accords expanding diplomatic and trade ties across the Middle East.Venture capital is thriving, too. Israel boasts over 270 active VC funds, and from 2014 to 2018, investment in Israeli startups grew by 140%—more than double the rate in the U.S. during the same period.The Timothy Plan's Israel Common Values FundTimothy Plan offers the Israel Common Values Mutual Fund for those interested in investing in Israel in a biblically responsible way. This fund stands out in several ways:Actively managed—Fund managers respond in real time to geopolitical developments.Focused exposure—At least 80% of companies in the portfolio are domiciled in Israel.Faith-based screening—Just like all Timothy Plan funds, this one avoids investments in companies involved in abortion, pornography, and other areas contrary to Christian values.The fund performed very well last year as the Israeli Stock Exchange closed the year up over 20%, with most of that growth coming in the second half.If you're interested in learning more about investing in Israel and doing so in a way that aligns with your faith, visit TimothyPlan.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I just sold my home with $200,000 in profit. Where's the best place to put this money to earn more interest while keeping it ready for my next home purchase in 6-9 months?As a veteran with limited funds, can I set up a Christian investment account to tithe $100 monthly and distribute it to ministry programs after my death?I'm considering buying a rental property for passive income, but I would like to know if it is wiser to meet with a financial advisor and invest in the stock market instead. I'm single, planning for the future, and want to avoid the time-consuming aspects of managing a rental property.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineTimothy Plan | Israel Common Values Mutual FundBankrate.comWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Thirty-two years ago, finance expert Art Ally got tired of investing in companies that had a track record of diverting from biblical moral principles. So, he created The Timothy Plan, an investment firm that would screen out companies that pursued "unholy agendas," like abortion, pornography or sex trafficking. And the biblical directive has been profitable... to the tune of nearly $3 billion in the fund. But that's not the first priority. The often-misquoted verse in the Bible, Timothy 6:10, doesn't say money is the root of all evil, but that the "love of money" is the root of all evil. It's a big distinction. It means people of faith should put God first and make decisions about investments that align with God's Word. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Ally speaks frankly about the spiritual warfare going on in the financial world, and that companies like Disney and Target have lost their way morally. They are not even considered as part of a Timothy Plan portfolio. While supporting Israel, as the land of God's chosen people is the basis of their Israel Common Values Fund. Why is it important to care about where your money goes? Ally says, because there's nothing more central to anyone's life than money. And there's nothing more important than glorifying God.

“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” - Luke 6:38Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Plain are a reminder that we should look for ways to be generous with all aspects of our finances, including investments. Brian Mumbert is here today to share some helpful ideas.Brian Mumbert is Vice President and Regional Sales Executive at Timothy Plan, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Dispelling the Myth: Performance vs. ValuesA common misconception in Faith-Based Investing is that investors must compromise financial performance to adhere to their values. Since the inception of Faith-Based Investing in 1994, the industry has made tremendous strides. What started with limited resources and headwinds has now evolved into a robust market with proven fund management, strong fundamentals, and competitive returns. Today, investors can achieve great risk-adjusted returns while staying true to their faith-based principles.Many investors have questions about whether they should tithe off their investment gains. In Luke 12, Jesus instructs us to store treasures in heaven where they cannot decay or be stolen. Additionally, 2 Corinthians 5:1-2 reminds believers that this world is not our home, and we are merely stewards of God's resources. Unfortunately, statistics show that the average American earning over $150,000 annually gives only 1.7% of their income, with Christians slightly higher at 2.5%. Tithing on investment gains is an opportunity to demonstrate faithfulness and generosity.Timothy Plan's Commitment to TithingTimothy Plan leads by example, tithing off the revenue it receives from mutual funds. The company sees this as an act of obedience and stewardship, using their resources to support causes that align with their mission. From funding crisis pregnancy centers to promoting faith-based media and supporting biblical entrepreneurs in underprivileged areas, Timothy Plan goes beyond just making money for investors—they are actively contributing to kingdom work.When it comes to deciding where to allocate their charitable contributions, Timothy Plan follows a thoughtful approach. They look at “the other side of the screen,” meaning they support organizations that counteract the very issues they stand against. For example, as a pro-life, pro-family investment firm, they support crisis pregnancy centers and organizations like Movie Guide, which advocate for family-friendly entertainment in Hollywood. Their impact extends locally in Orlando, Florida, and globally across the world.Looking Ahead: What's New at Timothy PlanWith new seasons ahead for the country, faith-based investing remains a powerful tool to influence culture and financial stewardship.For those interested in aligning their investments with their values and making an impact through Faith-Based Investing, Timothy Plan offers a variety of investment options.

I want to put down at least half the purchase price using proceeds from selling two other properties and get a 15-year mortgage at the lowest rate possible. What should I look for when comparing lenders?I have a small architecture business, and my income has fluctuated significantly over the last 3.5 years. My financial advisor has suggested I put my business on the back burner and get a consistent salary job instead to meet my family's budget and pay down debt. How can I be transparent and respectful when communicating to a potential employer that I want a salaried job but also want to keep my business on the side?Is it better for me to continue putting the maximum $200 per month into my retirement IRA, where my employer matches 50%, or should I put that money towards paying off my debt instead? I'm trying to decide whether to focus on maxing out the retirement contributions to take advantage of the employer match or if I should prioritize debt repayment.I'm 12 months away from turning 59 1/2, so I can take retirement withdrawals without penalty. My wife and I have a Roth IRA, and she's also over 55. Would it make sense for me to make $8,000 withdrawals from my 401(k) to max out both of our Roth IRAs for the next 5 years, even though I plan to keep working for 4-5 more years? I'm trying to figure out if that strategy of funding the Roth IRAs makes sense in my situation.I'm looking for resources to find more mortgage lender options besides the one on Bankrate.com. I checked the website of Movement Mortgage, which has a charitable background, but I didn't see anything for the St. Louis area.

Sometimes, you have to travel far to learn about things close to home—like your finances.They say that “travel is broadening”—that it expands your horizons and increases your understanding of how things really work. Sharon Epps experienced that recently on the tram in the Netherlands, and today, she'll share some financial lessons she learned along the way. Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Faith, Finance, and the TramDuring a recent Christmas visit to The Hague, Sharon enjoyed time with her family and learned valuable lessons riding the Dutch tram system. These lessons beautifully parallel financial wisdom rooted in faith. Let's explore these five lessons and how they can guide us in making faith-filled financial decisions.1. Plan in AdvanceBefore boarding the tram, you need to purchase a card or use an app like Apple Pay—cash isn't accepted. If you're unprepared, you'll find yourself stuck.Financial Takeaway: Life transitions and financial goals require preparation. Proverbs 21:5 reminds us, “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” Look ahead and make thoughtful plans for the future.2. Make Decisions Based on PrinciplesInterestingly, there are no instructions on using the card readers. Observing others reveals the steps: scan in when boarding and scan out when exiting. It's a system based on principles rather than explicit instructions.Financial Takeaway: Life doesn't come with a step-by-step manual for every situation. However, God's Word is full of enduring principles. Base your financial decisions on these, rather than rigid rules, to stay aligned with His will.3. Avoid Decision-Making TrapsSharon missed her tram stop because she was looking in the wrong direction. She realized too late that the doors she needed were behind her.Financial Takeaway: Evaluate multiple alternatives before making decisions. Avoid getting stuck with the first option that comes to mind, as it might not be the best one. Broaden your perspective to avoid costly mistakes.4. Seek Godly CounselAfter missing her stop, Sharon was unsure what to do next. A kind pair of Dutch women guided her to the next stop and helped her find her way back.Financial Takeaway: Life is full of unexpected turns. Seeking wisdom from God and godly counselors can help you navigate challenges and make wise choices. Proverbs 15:22 teaches, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”5. Know What You HaveAfter several rides, Sharon realized she needed to check the balance on her tram card and top it up.Financial Takeaway: Just as you must track the balance on your card, you need to know the condition of your financial resources. Proverbs 27:23–24 reminds us, “Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever.” Awareness of your financial position is crucial for wise stewardship.Life Moves Fast—Stay PreparedRiding a tram requires quick decision-making—boarding, exiting, and navigating—all while staying prepared for the next leg of the journey. Financial decisions can feel the same way. By applying these five lessons—planning ahead, basing decisions on principles, avoiding traps, seeking counsel, and staying informed—you'll be better equipped to navigate life's financial challenges.If we adopt these principles in our financial decision-making, we won't find ourselves getting off at the wrong stop and scrambling to figure out our way back.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a seven-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter, and I'd like to know how to begin investing in her college education.Can I roll my TSP over to an IRA? I'm getting ready to retire within the next five years, and I was told that if I did, the amount would be fixed and could only go up. However, I could still keep my TSP open and contribute to it. Would that be a wise move?I had a CD for $10,000 that matured, and I told the bank to reinvest it. It ended up being $10,210. Do I have to pay taxes on the $210 profit when I file my income taxes?I have been steadily losing money in the TCW MetWest Total Return Fund, and I would like to switch to a Timothy Fund. I'm 80 years old, so I want to change it to something that would make me a little money and keep the fees low. Who would I talk to if I wanted advice about which Timothy Plan fund to use?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationSavingForCollege.comTimothy PlanLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

There's a great investing option out there, and chances are, it's not in your portfolio.That option is Exchange-Traded Funds or ETFs, and they're worth considering. Brian Mumbert joins us today to discuss the advantages of ETFs.Brian Mumbert is Vice President and Regional Sales Executive at Timothy Plan, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.What is an ETF?An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is an investment option similar to a mutual fund but with distinct features. ETFs typically follow an index, such as the S&P 500 or NASDAQ, and are not actively managed. This means that an ETF holds a broad mix of investments, providing diversification that tracks the chosen index. One key advantage is that ETFs, like stocks, can be traded throughout the day, allowing investors to buy or sell at the current market price.How Do ETFs Differ from Mutual Funds?Unlike mutual funds, where the exact purchase price isn't known until the end of the trading day, ETFs offer real-time pricing. This flexibility allows investors to trade whenever they choose during market hours. Additionally, mutual funds may pass on capital gains taxes to investors due to asset sales by fund managers, but ETFs generally avoid this by trading “baskets” of stocks, potentially reducing tax liability.Transparency and Tax AdvantagesETFs offer high transparency, with daily disclosures of their holdings. This transparency is a significant benefit for investors who prioritize clarity in where their money goes. Tax advantages are another key feature; ETFs often avoid capital gains taxes, which can be passed on to mutual fund holders, especially during high turnover periods.Faith-Based Screening for ETFsTimothy Plan applies the same rigorous faith-based screening to its ETFs as it does to its mutual funds. These screenings filter out companies that conflict with Christian values. While ETFs are passively managed, which can mean a slight delay in removing non-compliant holdings, Timothy Plan flags them for removal to ensure alignment with their mission. This gives investors peace of mind, knowing their ETF investments are held to the same ethical standards as other Timothy Plan products.Lower Cost, Greater AccessibilityETFs offer a lower expense ratio than some mutual funds for investors looking for a cost-effective entry into faith-based investing. This affordability can make ETFs an attractive option for individuals who may be deterred by higher fees and a practical choice for adding diversified exposure to one's portfolio.Visit TimothyPlan.com for more details on Timothy Plan's offerings, including faith-based ETFs and mutual funds. With over 30 years of experience, Timothy Plan provides a reliable option for investors who want to align their finances with their faith.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 60 years old and want to retire early at 62. Before I do that, I'd like to pay off my house. Is that advisable?My son has started a new sales outside sales position and will receive a base salary. How can I advise him on how to begin a budget and maintain it when you have commission as your primary source of income?I was wanting to find out about a book you mentioned. I think it was for widows for budgeting who may not know how to do that, per se. What is the title of that book?We're revising our wills and deciding how much to give to our heirs and charity.

Paul Blair is a pastor on the move. Leading churches in both Orlando and in Oklahoma, Paul is always going places. So is his ministry, as he is teaching pastors to be informed and involved as community leaders. Paul leads Liberty Church in Orlando, meeting at the Embassy Suites in Altamonte Springs. He is joined by good friend and Timothy Plan founder Art Ally. Paul's show "Exploring the Word" is heard daily at 7:30 AM.

Art Ally, founder and President of Timothy Plan, advocates support for Israel. In 30 years of operation, Art grew the Timothy Plan from almost nothing to $2B under management. Interestingly, Art is the son of a Palestinian immigrant. Art joins us to explain how we can invest to match our values.

Captain James Fanell, Former U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer Specializing in Indo-Asia Pacific I spoke with Captain James Fanell about the rising belligerence of China towards the Philippines, the absence of the United States in pushing back against it, and the commendable courage of the Filipinos who deserve our support and help in replenishing their forces in their sovereign waters and territory.  We also spoke about the powerless state of the United States Navy at a moment when war with China is decidedly in prospect. We're going to have to go to war with the Navy we have, and the Navy's ship needs to be righted as a matter of the utmost national urgency in the face of the great and growing threat from China's armed forces. Robert Spencer, Director of Jihad Watch I discussed with Robert Spencer the necessity of punishing Azerbaijan and Turkey for their jihadist attack on Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh and their prospective attacks on Armenia that may be in the offing. We also visited about the possibility of using it as leverage to effect. Restitution for the Christians of Artsakh and deterring any future attacks on those of Armenia by insisting on the hardest commitment to both preconditions, to both as preconditions for holding the Climate Change Conference of Parties 29 in Baku. Art Ally, Founder and President of Timothy Plan I spoke with Art Alley about his Timothy Plan, a vehicle for investors to have confidence. Their money is in companies that support and advance Judeo-Christian values rather than undermine them and our country. We also discussed the inadvisability of investing in Communist China and the Chinese Communist Party's control there for national security reasons as well as moral and values-related ones.

The Timothy Plan is The Shepherd's studio sponsor, and what an honor to have the founder of The Timothy Plan - Art Ally - as today's guest. Art is a true statesman in the Christian Business Community, and in this episode, he talks about the root level motiviations that drive his company.

Iowa Business Report Wednesday EditionJanuary 17, 2024     Investor Art Ally of Timothy Plan expresses concern about the American economy given the high levels of consumer and governmental debt. 

Art Ally is one of those guys that believed what others couldn't, and acted when some advised against his direction. But, this going "against the flow" not only worked, it set up an entirely different way to approach investing. Art Ally is a pioneer in an industry known as "biblically sound investing." He also knows a thing or two about digital currency, and discusses all this on today's episode.

This morning, Mike and David continue discussing how that which calls itself "Christianity" in America is becoming anything but biblical Christianity more and more. We look at a Lip Sync event at Luther Seminary in Minnesota to show just how far off the rails one denomination has fallen. We also look at a recent statement by the National Evangelical Association supporting the LGBTQ movement in its special rights under the guise of "equality." In our first segment, we talk with Art Ally of The Timothy Plan to discuss biblical generosity and how the money Christians invest in corporations and stocks is being used to either glorify God or support those who oppose biblical Christian values.

Art Ally has been to Israel numerous times, and maintains many close friends with people who live there. He updates Mike on what he is hearing during this very sad unfolding of events, and also shares the downlow on a topic that should have our attention - digital currency.

A frequent guest on Mike's show, Art Ally the founder and president of "The Timothy Plan," a widely known organization that aids investors with the knowledge necessary to be biblically responsible with their investing. Art explains how that this process is actually helping to fight against the horrors of human trafficking. Also, Jim Subers, from Vision Orlando, joins Mike.

Countless Americans are invested in companies that are polluting the culture and even supporting the killing of unborn babies in abortion, but there is an alternative, explains Timothy Plan chief Art Ally in this interview on Conversations That Matter with Alex Newman.

Also, a face-to-face visit with David Closson, the Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview for the Family Research Council. Finally, a visit from a friend, Art Ally, founder of the Timothy Plan.

Art Ally is the founder of The Timothy Plan, a company which helps investors screen out investment opportunities that fund Biblically-irresponsible causes.  He describes how The Timothy Plan helps professional investment advisers as well as individual stock, mutual fund, and ETF investors assure their investments are Biblically responsible.    For more information, go to http://www.TimothyPlan.com or call 1-800-TIMPLAN.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They were one of those inseparable couples...Art and Bonnie have been husband and wife for more than 61 years, but she went to be with the Lord in March. Friends from all over the nation gathered to mourn this loss. Art is a man of faith, and great resolve, and he shares how he is managing this loss in faith in a most inspiring way. He also comments on the unique services offered by The Timothy Plan, and gives a definition on just what biblically sound investing looks like.

Art Ally watched the abortion-exposing documentary, The Silent Scream decades ago with his wife, and it changed their lives forever. “If you are a Christian, you have to be pro-life,” Art declares. Art is the founder and CEO of Timothy Plan, a pro-life, pro-family mutual fund group that is committed to helping their clients invest in companies that align with Biblical morals and values. This investment expert points out the unholy agenda of major financial players, disclosing how they exert their influence on publicly traded boards of directors in top management positions nationwide. Art's organization, by contrast, is committed to helping people invest in companies that align with what they believe in. TAKEAWAYSYou shouldn't just leave your investments to an ambivalent third party, but research what companies you are investing inWe owe it to ourselves and to the Lord to handle every area of our lives from a Biblical perspective - including our financesSatan's greatest bondage on Christians and non-Christians alike is moneyArt offers a FREE Biblical Stewardship Series for those wanting to learn about scriptural money management at BiblicalStewardship.org

When you place your investment into The Timothy Plan, you can be sure your funds are being stewarded in a way free from these worldly entrapments. Art also talks about the wokeness that is in our culture, and sadly in many churches.

When he was considering starting The Timothy Plan investment firm, Art Ally sought counsel from friends in the business. The feedback was not all that encouraging, with some even telling him that he was crazy if he started it. But Art pressed on, and today, The Timothy Plan is a major success, helping clients invest into funds that are free from issues that are anti-biblical, such as abortion or pornography. Art is also involved with Pastor Paul Blair in sponsoring Boot Camps for pastors - he explains all of that in this episode.

Art Ally was willing to "put his money where his heart was." He started working a business plan that became "The Timothy Partners," offering "The Timothy Plan" for investing...he was initially advised against it, but it has proven to be an amazing idea. His company helps investors be biblically responsible by only investing in mutual funds or stocks that are in line with sound biblical principles, with the goal of honoring the Lord with our stewardship. He also shares on his involvement in the Liberty Pastors' Boot Camp.

Top 100 US ESG companies for 2019 by CR Magazine. Profitably invest in harmony with your spiritual or religious ideals. Solar power breakthrough—but investing in solar has its perils. A valuable investing tip that really works. Confused who’s best, Uber or Lyft? An analyst compares them. Vanguard launches actively managed ESD ETF. And more. PODCAST: Top US ESG Companies, Solar Power Breakthrough, Investing Tip Transcript & Links May 26, 2019 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast Ethical & Sustainable Investing News to Profit By! for May 26, 2019. Presented by Investing for the Soul. investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investment resources. Now to this podcast. And for any terms that are unfamiliar to you, simply Google them! Also, you can find a full transcript, live links and often bonus material at my podcast page located at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts ------------------------------------------------------------- The first item to discuss is CR Magazine's 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2019! CR Magazine reviewed 1,000 US companies for their ESG practices. Robbie Lock, a writer for 3BL Association, commenting on the research results wrote that “Owens Corning tops the ranking, followed by Intel, General Mills, Campbell Soup and HP Inc… Twenty-seven companies are new to the ranking in 2019 including Allstate, Delta Airlines and Mondelez International. Biggest gainers include Ball Corp., CBRE, Ford and Xylem, Inc.” Mr. Lock provides further clarification as to how CR Magazine obtains the rankings. Quoting him again, he says, ”The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking uses 134 total corporate disclosure and performance factors in seven categories: climate change, employee relations, environment, finance, governance, human rights, and stakeholders and society.” Also, that the, “There is no fee for companies to be assessed. To compile this ranking, information is obtained from publicly available resources only, rather than questionnaires or company submissions. Companies have the option to verify data collected for the ranking at no cost.” Close quote. I like the idea that companies don’t pay to be included in the research and the data compiled is from publicly available sources. ------------------------------------------------------------- The 100 Best Corporate Citizens demonstrate various degrees of above average corporate ethics, and ethics is a central theme for those wanting to apply their spiritual or religious beliefs to investing. If you’re interested in applying spiritual or religious values to investing, Meredith Jones just published in MarketWatch a post that could be of interest to you. It’s titled, “Opinion: When your faith guides your investing decisions, can you still beat the stock market?” And she says the answer can be yes. Ms. Jones reviews the leading ETFs and mutual funds for investors interested in Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian-Bible related ethics and principles. For Catholics, she likes the Global X S&P 500 Catholic Values ETF, LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund, and the Ave Maria group of funds. For those of Jewish persuasion, she says there’s only one for now and that’s the AMIDEX35 Israel Mutual Fund which invests in Israeli companies. For Muslims, there’s the Imam Fund IMANX the Amana group of funds and ETFs listed on the London Stock Exchange including iShares MSCI World Islamic ETF ISWD and the iShares MSCI USA Islamic ETF ISUS. And under the umbrella of Christian-Bible offerings, Ms. Jones reviews the Timothy Plan and Guidestone family of funds. For links to these funds go to my podcast page for this edition at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. ------------------------------------------------------------- In my last podcast, I introduced the research of Tim Nash at Corporate Knights. Well, he’s produced another research report that compares the pros and cons of investing in Uber or Lyft. You can read his full post under the title of Tim Nash’s sustainable stock showdown: Uber vs. Lyft. Personally, I’m not keen on either company because I believe competition—not just between them but also other entrants including potentially motor vehicle manufacturers themselves—will force them to keep user prices low which will continue to severely restrict profits. Also, their environmental benefits are overplayed as I mentioned in my podcast of April 12. Anyhow, this is what Mr. Nash says in conclusion, “I’d put Lyft ahead by a headlight in this week’s Sustainability Stock Showdown, but anyone that’s interested in investing in either stock should be ready to fasten their seat belts and brace for a bumpy ride.” ------------------------------------------------------------- One big area that I know might interest you is renewable energy. I have several items of news and information that I want to share with you concerning investing in this area. The first thing you should know is that developments in new products are almost overwhelming. This industry has numerous innovative players and it’s very difficult to know who will eventually be a leader. Sure, you can buy renewable energy ETFs—and a good read on what to buy is an article that appeared recently on Nasdaq, titled, 5 Clean Energy ETFs to Buy for 2019. But if you’re interested in individual companies, here’s what I’ve seen in the past two weeks. The New York Times ran an excellent piece reviewing a Danish company called Orsted. They produce massive offshore wind turbines whose energy costs are rapidly declining while already being highly competitive with new natural-gas fired plants. In solar power, there’s been a tremendous breakthrough in producing new solar panels that appear to be 20-25% more efficient than the best existing panels. A paper outlining the breakthrough appeared in ScienceDaily under the title, Breakthrough in new material to harness solar power. Who will manufacture, market and install such panels wasn’t mentioned. Incidentally, these panels do have a downside—they contain some lead. I’m sure testing in rainy and humid environments will be needed and manufacturing processes and end-of-life disposal policies will be needed too, considering that most countries will want assurance about the safe removal of lead. I did a detailed study on solar panel manufacturers a few years ago and discovered that the manufacturing processes themselves can be highly toxic. Furthermore, most countries had no end-of-life policies in place to deal with the safe disposal of the toxic components of solar panels—and that is deeply concerning! It’s possible that the companies engaged in the manufacturing, marketing and installation of solar panels could at some point be hit with levies or fines in dealing with these issues. At the time of my research, I was most impressed with SunPower and its environmental efforts. So, one thing you might want to find out before investing in solar panel manufacturers is how they perform environmentally. A great resource for this is the Solar Power Scorecard produced by the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. However, their last scorecard is a little dated and I’m hoping to see their new one soon. Incidentally, Fox Business just reported on the huge growth of solar panel installation in the US in a post, titled, 2 Million U.S. Solar Installations Are Just the Start. By the way, a tip for checking how investment analysts rate solar companies—or any companies for that matter—is simply to type into Google Search the name of the company followed by Reuters—the name of the media company—after it. Click search and then click the search item that says the company name and the text Reuters quote. Reuters will then bring-up a research report. Click on analysts in the links bar and you can see how analysts rate the stock of the company you’re researching. By getting the information on how analysts rate the companies you’re interested in can be terrifically helpful in deciding which companies to invest in. It saves you a lot of time and effort. And this is exactly the kind of tip and help you get in my DIY Ethical-Sustainable Investing Pays Tutorial! This tutorial will be the most worthwhile 1-hour you’ll ever spend getting help with your investments! ------------------------------------------------------------- Some other exciting new developments that might interest you are the following. Vanguard, one of the world’s largest fund companies, has launched its first actively managed ESG ETF, called the Global ESG Select Stock Fund (ticker VEIGX). It will officially begin trading on June 4. This is big as ETFs are mostly ‘passively’ managed, that is they pick a group of stocks typically based on an index, whereas active management means selling and buying different stocks as the managers see fit. In recent years passive investing has usually outperformed active investing. However, who knows what the future will bring. Also, S&P Dow Jones, who have had ESG indices for many years is launching something new. They are launching ESG global indexes based on core regional and country benchmarks. What is especially interesting is that these indexes, and quoting their press release, provide “a return profile that's consistent with mainstream benchmarks that have been widely followed for years.” As an aside, what you can do, where possible, is to review the indexes that interest you and see what companies are included in them. You can often get useful ideas for new companies to look at! ------------------------------------------------------------- So, these are my top news stories and tips for ethical and sustainable investors over the past two weeks.
