Finny Kuruvilla, of Eventide Funds, is a trusted and close friend of the faith driven investor community. One of his great passions is calling investors to check their hearts and consider the impacts of their investment practices.
Do you want to own companies that you are proud of?” Well, of course I do. But truth be told, I haven’t been paying that much attention.

On today’s episode, we’re talking to an expert on capital, influence, and how investments can serve the common good. Finny Kuruvilla is the Chief Investment Officer for Eventide Funds, and if you haven’t heard of them, you’re going to be glad you did.
Now, why is it hard to see this ownership today? Why has this question been ... has it been so fundamentally obscured?
