Vice Fund Beats “Faith-Based” Investing

O.K. not by much, but it’s also a lot cheaper to invest in.

The Vice Fund (.pdf) : return 1 year : 17.76% , 5 year : 20.85%
The Timothy Plan : return 1 year "more than 17%" , 5 year : 18.60%

The Vice Fund invests in companies, both domestic and foreign, engaged in the aerospace and defense industries, owners and operators of casinos and gaming facilities, manufacturers of gaming equipment such as slot machines, manufacturers of cigarettes and other tobacco products, and brewers, distillers, vintners and producers of other alcoholic beverages. Sales load : None

The Timothy Plan avoids investing in companies that are involved in practices contrary to Judeo-Christian principles. Our goal is to recapture traditional American values. We are America’s first pro-life, pro-family, biblically-based mutual fund group. Sales load : 5.5%

Supposedly, a member of the christian faith is to give his/her church 10% -- so 5.5% is a bargain. I can see why vice fund did well -- except for defense stocks, these are consumer staples in general -- while one needs to eat, one probably needs to have a drink even more. At a global level, the less 20% return on christian funds is pitiful compared to those generated by funds focusing on Asian stocks. You need to pray harder and ask your man to give you more -- as is, you are not in the league.
