Questions We Can Help Answer

We help answer important questions related to your financial plan, investment approach, and long-term goals, tailored to each client’s stated values and objectives.

How can we structure our financial plan to reflect long-term priorities and values?

How do we balance spending, saving, giving, and lifestyle goals in a sustainable plan?

How can our financial decisions support family goals, community commitments, and philanthropic intent?

What legacy planning strategies can help align our estate and charitable goals with our values?

How do we align our financial plan and investment approach with our values-based preferences while staying focused on risk, diversification, and long-term goals?

Beacon Pointe works with Catholic clients to help them properly apply screening services for the main concerns that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has outlined for investment managers. Every quarter, Beacon Pointe client investment portfolios are reviewed periodically using available screening data to help align holdings with the USCCB standards when requested by the client; values-based screening relies on third-party information and may involve limitations.

Common Values-Based Screening Topics

Human Dignity and Flourishing
Abortifacients
Abortion Data
Explicit-Content Related Screens
Stem Cell Research Data
Euthanasia Data

Protecting Against Human Catastrophe

Nuclear Weapons Data
Chemical Weapons Data
Biological Weapons Data
Mines

Stewardship of Creation’s Resources

Climate Protection Data
Economic Justice Data
Community Reinvestment Act Data

While many faith-based investors believe values-based screening is an important part of their overall investment approach. We support clients by coordinating values-aligned proxy voting and engagement practices where applicable, recognizing outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
