The Central Finance Board
of the Methodist Church
Background and history
The Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church (CFB) was established by an Act of Parliament in 1960 to enable Methodist organisations to pool their assets and manage them efficiently.
In 1972 it set up its own fund management department, which enabled the CFB to provide professional investment management for organisations within Methodism.
Trustees of churches and charities are attracted to the CFB approach by its proven ability to combine good financial returns within an ethical and Christian framework.
Mission statement
Our mission, alongside the Church, is to seek practical solutions which combine Christian ethics and investment returns. We therefore aim...
- to provide a high quality investment service seeking above average returns
- to follow a discipline in which the ethical dimension is an integral part of all investment decisions
- to construct investment portfolios consistent with the moral stance and teachings of the Christian faith
- to encourage strategic thinking on the ethics of investment
- to be a Christian witness in the investment community
