What Is Your Portfolio Really Built On?

Every investment portfolio is built on something, sometimes on strategy, sometimes on speculation, and sometimes on a shaky combination of market trends and emotional decisions.


For those pursuing faith-based stewardship, it’s worth asking: What is your portfolio truly built on? And is it designed to hold steady through unpredictable seasons?


The Market May Shift—But Your Foundation Should Not

In June 2025, a series of market-moving events unfolded:

  • Middle East tensions caused a brief surge in oil prices

  • Inflation indicators moved slightly upward

  • Personal income data showed a surprise decline

  • Stock indices still reached new highs just days later


These developments show how quickly markets may change course. Investors who chase performance or try to predict the next swing may find themselves building on unstable ground.


At Stonecrop, we believe your portfolio should reflect deeper convictions, built not only to withstand uncertainty but to advance your purpose through it.


Portfolios Reflect Purpose

A strong foundation begins with clarity:

  • What are you stewarding your money for?

  • Are you invested in companies aligned with your beliefs?

  • Do your strategies prepare you for volatility without compromising your peace?


Many investors unintentionally support industries or business practices that don’t match their values simply because they have not reviewed what’s inside their portfolio or how it’s structured.


We believe that faithful stewardship means knowing what you own, why you own it, and what purpose it serves.
