PRAY: A Biblically Aligned, Risk-Managed ETF

Fox News recognized PRAY as one of the leading examples of a faith-driven investment option. The ETF is actively managed and designed to align investors’ portfolios with Christian values while also managing market risk through a disciplined investment strategy.

PRAY excludes companies involved in industries such as abortion, pornography, gambling, alcohol, and tobacco, and instead seeks opportunities with businesses that demonstrate strong ethics, family-friendly values, and responsible stewardship. What sets PRAY apart is its dual focus: maintaining biblical integrity while dynamically adjusting exposure to help manage risk in changing market conditions.

A Sign of Growing Demand for Faith-Based Investing

The Fox News feature notes that a growing number of Christians are questioning where their money goes and what it supports. Many investors are discovering that traditional investment options may fund companies or agendas that conflict with their values. The rise of screened funds like PRAY gives them an opportunity to invest purposefully, ensuring that their portfolios reflect their beliefs.

Faith Investor Services’ PRAY ETF meets that demand by providing a clear path for biblically aligned investing without compromising financial stewardship. The fund gives Christian investors the ability to live out their faith not only through spending and giving, but also through how they invest.

Faith, Finance, and Stewardship

As the Fox article explains, Biblically Responsible Investing is not simply about avoiding certain industries – it is about honoring God through every financial decision. It encourages investors to see themselves as stewards rather than owners, managing God’s resources with wisdom and integrity.

The movement also shows that aligning faith with finance does not mean sacrificing performance. Studies have shown that BRI strategies can perform comparably to traditional portfolios over time, giving investors confidence that their convictions and their financial goals can coexist.

Bridging the Marketplace and the Mission Field

Faith Investor Services is honored that PRAY was recognized as part of this national conversation on values-based investing. The growing awareness of BRI reflects a cultural shift among Christian investors who want to connect their beliefs with their financial practices.

As the Fox News article concludes, this approach is helping bridge “the marketplace with the pew and the balance sheet with the Bible.” PRAY is proud to be part of that mission—helping investors make every dollar a reflection of faith.
