You live by what you believe.

You should be proud of the investments you own. That means holding exceptional companies that are strong from a financial standpoint and also operate with high ethical standards. We can help you build a portfolio that supports your financial goals while focusing on companies that align with those values.

You’d never write a check to a company that goes against everything you believe in.

You wouldn’t even think about it.

Casinos.Pornography.Abortion.Forced labor.Predatory lending.

But your retirement fund might.

Broad funds can own companies that profit from exactly these things. Most people never look inside.

Common questions.

Do I have to be a Christian to work with you?

No. People of every background and belief work with 4:8 Financial. Our faith shapes how we work: honestly, with integrity, and with your interests ahead of our own. Biblically responsible investing is something we offer, not something we require.

I already have a Christian financial advisor. Aren’t my investments already screened?

Not necessarily. Many common funds own companies whose work conflicts with biblical values, whoever recommends them. A Resonate Score™ shows how closely your current holdings line up with what you believe.
