About Investing for the Soul

This website began in 2002 with the premise that if we desire a better world, and/or are concerned about our spiritual development, about ethics, or the environment, etc., then we must incorporate such higher values in investing decisions. The reason for this is that when we invest in a company, or many companies in the case of a mutual fund, we share in the responsibility for the activities of those companies as well as participate in the outcomes of their corporate actions.

So let us invest in companies whose activities we believe are most helpful to us spiritually, ethically, and for life, generally! Helping you accomplish such goals and available on this website are pages covering: Ethical Investing News And Commentary, Article Archives, Books, Research Links, Ethical Investing Services and Ethical Investing Workshops. By applying our ethical and higher values to investing, we not only help create a better life for us all, but potentially enjoy higher profits from our investments as well. The accumulating masses of investment reports and studies (see Article Archives) suggest that outperformance of portfolio returns is frequently possible by employing ethical investing strategies.

Investors will find the news, information and resources on this website invaluable with regard to their investing performance and for their personal fulfillment. However, please note though that we do not offer investment advice.

Our Programmes & Services

For investors we show you how to find and research companies and investments that could reflect your own personal (or 'higher') values. This is easily and enjoyably accomplished through our unique and highly praised Ethical Investing Workshops and Tutorial: Finding Stocks That Reflect Your Values -- which are available remotely.

For licensed investment advisors, financial planners, and portfolio managers, we can help you find investments and create portfolios that reflect personal value preferences. This is achieved through an array of original specialized services that includes a Tutorial: Finding & Evaluating Stocks That Reflect Personal Values, a Company Research Service, and a Portfolio Audit Service. (Custom workshops are also offered. For details please Contact Us.)

For companies, we can offer specially designed workshops for managers and employees that show staff how to locate and research investments that could emulate their own individual values. For details please Contact Us.
