The Timothy Plan is a mutual fund company that screens its investments for the support of abortion, alternative lifestyles (meaning gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders, as well as (non-married) domestic partnerships), pornography, "anti-family" entertainment, "anti-family" policies, alcohol, tobacco, and gambling. The Timothy Plan pointedly shuns investing in firms it claims are "destroying children and families."
Among the better known "offenders" are such companies as General Electric, The Coca-Cola Company, Microsoft, Starbucks, Time Warner and Walt Disney Company.[citation needed] Not surprisingly, by far the greatest part of the companies fails in the department of "alternative lifestyles", if only for recognizing the existence of homosexuals among their employees.[citation needed]
It is categorized as "moral investing", which, similar to socially responsible investing attempts to impact culture with investment dollars.
According to a Financial Times article published in January, 2008—"Christian group top among US faith-based investors"—Timothy Plan's "funds are heavily invested in energy stocks such as ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and Marathon Oil, a big factor in their outperformance."
