Investing in the Church

Post by _GoodK »

I have recently began testing my luck in the stock market... and I have been curiously watching the stock ticker for Zion's Bank. I heard somewhere that a few of the Hinckley sons run the institution, but I don't know if the church has a vested interest in the company. Seems like a good investement if an enterprise such as the LDS Church was backing it.

Can someone here tell me what the Church's involvement is with Zion's Bancorp, or if the Church is involved with any other publicly traded company?

where to begin, whew. I've seen a list before. Its pretty large, don't know if there is a fund one can invest in though.

Some insects called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space...and meaning

The LDS Church has a long association with companies, both publicly traded and privately held, including Zion's Bancorp.

The Mormon Stock Index might be a good place to start:

Keep in mind it's an old article, so numbers will be outdated and stale.
