5 things you need to know before you start using Altum App

Now you have the information you need to invest freely, to guide your investments so that they do not compromise your integrity.

Dear friend, 

If you are reading this post is because you are interested in the world of Faithful Investing. Welcome to Altum App! 

You have in your hands the tool that can help you start a new path as an investor. Below, I’m going to explain everything you need to know about this application. Would you like to join me?

1.    The profile: consistency as a priority

Altum App is for people like you, for people who want to look beyond the norm when it comes to deciding how you want to invest your money. Altum App is designed for those who seek to give Christian witness in all areas of their lives, including when it comes to investing.  

It is not an investment gateway. From Altum App, you cannot invest directly in shares or other financial assets (to place an order it is best to contact your bank or broker you trust), but you can obtain the necessary information to find out if certain companies are in conflict with the magisterium of the Catholic Church and thus be able to invest/consume in a consistent manner.

2.    The content: information about companies and countries that won’t leave you indifferent.

The application offers powerful tools that will allow you to get relevant information to make investment decisions consistent with the Catholic faith. 

With Altum App you can:

  • Search, find, and compare the performance of listed companies around the world in areas such as the promotion of the family, the protection of human life and dignity, and care for the environment. 
  • Highlight your favorite companies to keep track of them and keep you informed of any news related to them.
  • Consult the degree of the permissiveness of abortion and respect for religious freedom that exists in each of the countries of the world.  
  • Keep up to date with everything related to Faithful Investing by having access to articles, videos, and other publications. 

3.      The criteria: Altum Investment Guidelines

In order to assess the behavior of companies or the policies of countries, we have compiled the teachings of the Social Doctrine of the Church (SDC), paying particular attention to the magisterium of Benedict XVI, John Paul II, and Francis. The result? The Altum Investment Guidelines, which are composed of four pillars:

1.    Promotion of human dignity

2.    Promotion of  family

3.    Promotion of human life

4.    Care and protection of The Creation

These guides seek to translate existing doctrinal documents into something concrete, such as an investment portfolio, providing you with investment guidelines that will help you to achieve your investment goals in a coherent manner. 

You can access detailed information on each of the pillars here: https://altum-fi.com/con-criterio/

4.    The goal: to ensure that your investment portfolio does not compromise your integrity.

With the help of Altum App you will avoid investing in companies whose activities and objectives do not respect the values of Christian morality. 

Now you have the information you need to invest freely, to guide your investments so that they do not compromise your integrity. In addition, you will not only be able to make decisions in accordance with the principles of the SDC, but you will also have the opportunity to help initiate a transformation in the world of finance. 

Remember: a small decision can make a big difference when taken in the right direction. 

5.    Polls: tell us what you think!

Altum App cares about what you care about. In the survey section, you will have the opportunity to share your concerns with the Altum team. We will periodically launch questions on a variety of topics (which companies interest you most, what information you find useful, what financial or current issues you would like to know more about…). The aim is for Altum App to adapt more and more to your needs and for none of your questions to go unanswered. 

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@altum-fi.com.

Duc in altum!
