Economic decisions must protect the dignity of the human person.

Finding the Culture of Life on Wall Street
Because the Most Important Investment Is Life Itself
Since we opened our doors in 1996, we at Paladin Financial Group. have worked with our clients in the realm of Morally Responsible Investing, or "MRI." We have seen fund families come and go as more attention has been given to MRI.
Unlike most other firms and advisors, MRI has always been our sole focus. We have assisted hundreds of clients throughout the country, providing investment services and products that are consistent with the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church, and most importantly, that support a culture of life.
“Even the decision to invest in one place rather than another, in one productive sector rather than another, is always a moral and cultural choice."
- St. John Paul II, Centesimus Annus
