RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Impact of Faith-Based Screens on Investment Performance JF The Journal of Investing FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 136 OP 143 DO 10.3905/joi.2010.19.3.136 VO 19 IS 3 A1 Lyn, Esmeralda O. A1 Zychowicz, Edward J. YR 2010 UL http://joi.pm-research.com/content/19/3/136.abstract AB There has been a phenomenal rise in faith-based investing in recent years. A very important question arises: do investors sacrifice satisfactory economic returns by making ethically and socially responsible investing decisions based on their faith? Using data on 36 faith-based mutual funds, this article reviews and extends previous research on the performance of faith-based investing. It examines the performance of these faith-based funds over three different five-year periods from May 2001 to February 2008. By applying a comprehensive set of tests, the authors find evidence that faith-based funds mostly outperform the market. The results also suggest that faith-based funds do better than socially responsible investing funds in general.
