Epworth launches Christian-focused MPS

11 October 2022

Epworth Investment Management has launched a Christian-focused managed portfolio service.

The UK investment manager said the range of five risk managed, diversified portfolios are positioned to help retail investors reach their investment goals whilst applying Christian principles.

Investors will be offered a range of income, balanced and accelerated growth portfolios with varying risk profiles and all portfolios are designed with CPI+ objectives.

The MPS will be run in partnership with Canaccord Genuity, with oversight and governance by Epworth.

Epworth said the launch reinforces its commitment to upholding Christin ethics in investment and its desire to serve not only churches and charities but individual investors.

David Palmer, CEO of Epworth Investment Management, said that although the portfolios have a “low tolerance for activities that are incompatible with God’s mandate”, the focus is upon promoting solid investments that have the potential to positively impact the world.

“This isn’t just a solution for people just looking to secure their financial future, it’s also a solution for those looking to contribute to the secure future of the planet and all people,” said Palmer.

Sean Taylor, head of UK intermediary sales at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, added: “We are delighted to be responsible for running this first-of-its-kind Christian ethical investment solution. Like Epworth, we are passionate about investing sustainably. We strongly believe that a positive impact lies in a mixture of environmental and social gains and does not need to preclude strong investment performance.”
