Background Information

Why Biblically Informed Investing


Over 20 million Canadians identify as Christian, representing the largest faith community in the country. Many Canadian investors have incorporated biblical values into their financial and estate planning, but have had limited options for a Canadian domiciled investment to complement these plans. This left a large gap in their ability to steward their wealth.


The Capstone Approach


The Funds use a four-component investment analysis:

  1. Fundamental Analysis: Active, value-oriented research focused on equities
  2. Due Diligence: Assessment using four guiding investment principles
  3. Biblical Research: Application of biblical alignment criteria to companies passing financial analysis
  4. Independent Validation: Partnership with Brightlight Impact for additional independent analysi

Four Guiding Investment Principles

  1. Valuing all human life

    Capstone seeks companies that demonstrate consistent respect for the dignity and worth of every human being.

  2. Stewarding creation responsibly
    Capstone seeks companies committed to responsible stewardship and the development of creation.



  3. Encouraging human flourishing
    Capstone seeks companies that contribute positively to physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.



  4. Applying biblical wisdom

    Capstone seeks companies whose values, culture, and business practices align with principles rooted in Scripture.
