Eventide: Shaping the Future of Investing

by The Faith Driven Investor Team

Very few things are free in today’s world. 

Money and the financial markets have the power to drive change and standards across industries and lifestyles alike. But with such power comes great responsibility. 

Positive return on investment alone is not enough for effective and positive developments to occur. Investors must invoke values alongside capital. 

Eventide Asset Management, a Boston-based investment firm, believes that faith is essential to the intentional allocation of capital. And the firm is working to promote investing that in their words, “makes the world rejoice.”

Just recently, Eventide Asset Management CEO and co-founder Robin John and manager of investment marketing Shaun Morgan sat down for an interview with the World Economic Forum to discuss the company’s longstanding and Kingdom-focused vision.

“Investors have a huge opportunity and responsibility to lead and be leaders of change,” Robin John said during the 9-minute segment. You can watch the full interview below:

For more than 50 years, the World Economic Forum, also known as the Davos Forum, has served as a global platform where leaders from business, government, international organizations, civil society, and academia come together at the start of each year to address critical issues.

After two years of pandemic-related restrictions, the Davos Forum returned to an in-person meeting format May 22-26. This edition is one of the most critical so far—the world has seen vast changes since last year's event and society now faces some severe tests. 

With the pandemic in the background and the invasion of Ukraine in the foreground, the summit comes at a crucial geopolitical and economic moment. The world faces urgent challenges in humanitarian emergencies, energy, and security, while not losing sight of the long-term commitments to transform, feed and decarbonize the planet.

And yet in the midst of a world in chaos, Eventide is able to share the hope of the Gospel. With God at the heart of everything they do, Robin, Shaun, and other Christ-following investors are compelled to look beyond current circumstances and see an eternity of possibility and promise.
