ABOUT FAITHINVEST

 

FaithInvest (www.faithinvest.org) is an international, multi-faith, not-for-profit network and membership organisation for religious organisations and faith-based institutional investors.  Our mission is to measurably grow the scale and impact of faith-consistent investing. Our vision is to achieve this by supporting faith-based asset owners - investment groups, philanthropies and faith-based NGOs - to become the major worldwide forces proactively engaged in faith-consistent investing with positive environmental and sustainable development outcomes.

Currently FaithInvest is developing access to many faith-based asset owning groups with a potential of influencing many billions of faith investments within faiths worldwide – including Buddhist, Christian, Daoist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh and Shinto. Over the next one to two years we aim to develop over 100 members who are committed to shifting their portfolios to be more faith-consistent. We do not offer investment advice or run investment funds ourselves; our role is to partner with, support, and amplify existing efforts, and to create new investment opportunities, by curating connections which facilitate portfolio shifts.

The ideal candidate for this job is someone with the experience and presence to support faith-based investment conversations with senior institutional investors, and to actively explore the development of faith-consistent investment solutions with members in a collaborative and iterative manner.

FaithInvest’s vision is the enabling of faith investment groups, faith laity, faith philanthropies and faith-based NGOs to become the major worldwide forces engaging in investments in pursuit of pro-active investing. Such investments will focus on criteria and goals such as ESG, the SDGs and upon the Catholic vision for faith action outlined in Laudato Si whose message has been supported/endorsed by the leaders of many diverse faith groups. FaithInvest’s goal is to help all faith investment to move to faith aligned values investing

Currently FaithInvest is developing access to around 600 faith investment groups with a potential of helping influence up to £1 trillion of faith investments within eight faiths – Buddhist, Christian, Daoist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh and Shinto - worldwide. A significant proportion therefore of the 80% of the world who claim membership of the major faiths. During the initial three years FaithInvest aims to have developed around 175 members and appropriate support services.
