Consider Impact Investing

Impact investing is a term used to describe investments that seek both financial and social returns. The idea behind impact investing is that your investment portfolio should not only bring you returns but also be aligned with your values. Aquinas Wealth Advisors offers a variety of faith-based investing options designed to help you achieve optimal returns while still reflecting your faith.

Make Sure Your Investment Advisor Understands Your Values

When deciding on an investment advisor, it is critical to ensure they not only understand your financial goals but also share in your faith-based investing philosophy. At Aquinas Wealth Advisors, we are committed to helping you create and maintain a portfolio that aligns with your values and provides maximum returns. You need to ask yourself, “is my financial advisor socially responsible?” If you find yourself answering “no” or “I’m not sure” then you should reach out to us and find out how we can help.

Reevaluate Your Investment Portfolio Regularly

It is critical to reevaluate your investment portfolio regularly to ensure that it is still in line with your values. You should make sure it is creating the returns you need and that your investments are consistent with your faith-based investing goals. At Aquinas Wealth Advisors, we can help you review your portfolio to ensure it is still meeting your expectations and aligning with your values.

Set Up a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

For those looking to give back, a donor-advised fund (DAF) is an excellent option. A DAF gives you the flexibility to donate money and make charitable gifts without incurring high administrative costs. Additionally, it allows you to be more strategic with your donations by being able to invest the funds in the most impactful way possible. Aquinas Wealth Advisors can help you set up a DAF so that your charitable giving is both impactful and consistent with your faith-based values.
