OneAscent

OneAscent is a faith-based investment management firm providing biblically responsible investment strategies to individual investors, financial advisors, and institutions who seek to align their investment portfolios with their Christian values and convictions. According to its website at oneascent.com, the company manages a family of mutual funds, ETFs, and separately managed accounts that apply a proprietary biblically responsible investment (BRI) screening and engagement process to exclude companies whose business activities are incompatible with Christian values — including abortion services, pornography, gambling, alcohol, and tobacco — while also engaging with portfolio companies on governance and stewardship issues from a biblical values perspective. OneAscent's investment approach reflects the conviction that Christians can and should invest in ways that reflect their faith without sacrificing investment performance.

OneAscent's investment platform, described at oneascent.com, encompasses a range of strategy types including domestic equity, international equity, fixed income, and balanced strategies that provide investors with diversified investment exposure while maintaining consistent application of OneAscent's biblically responsible investment screening methodology. The firm's BRI approach goes beyond simple exclusionary screening to incorporate a positive engagement component in which OneAscent's team engages with portfolio companies on environmental stewardship, human dignity in the workplace, family-supportive business practices, and other value-aligned governance and social issues that matter to Christian investors. OneAscent's investment strategies seek to demonstrate that faith-aligned investing and competitive investment performance are complementary rather than mutually exclusive objectives.

OneAscent serves a growing community of Christian investors who are becoming increasingly aware of the opportunity to invest their savings in alignment with their faith convictions, motivated by the biblical principle that financial stewardship — like all areas of life — should reflect Christian values rather than operating as a values-neutral activity. According to oneascent.com, the firm provides financial advisors and their clients with the investment products, educational resources, and investment support required to incorporate biblical values into client portfolio construction without compromising the quality of investment management or the financial planning discipline that good stewardship requires. OneAscent's combination of biblically responsible investment methodology, comprehensive investment strategy platform, financial advisor distribution focus, and faith-driven investment philosophy positions it as a distinctive and committed participant in the growing values-based investment management market.
