'A coalition strong enough to move markets' – Pioneers Post article

Delighted to share this article, written by FaithInvest Executive Chair Dave Zellner, which was published in Pioneers Post, the magazine and digital platform for social entrepreneurs and impact investors, following our Faith in the Common Good forum in Paris earlier this month.

As Dave wrote, representatives of 33 institutional faith-based asset owners and faith networks from four major religious traditions (Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism), which together manage at least $200 billion in assets under management, gathered in Paris for an important conversation.

They came from across Europe, the United States and Malaysia to explore how faith groups can work together more closely and use their combined investment power for the common good. Above all, they wanted to pursue positive impact through their investments.

FaithInvest co-hosted the forum with the Collège des Bernardins, a centre for conferences, culture, training and dialogue whose president, Jean-Baptiste de Franssu, also serves as president of IOR, known as the Vatican Bank.
