You can trust the strength and stability of the Mission Investment Fund—even in uncertain times

Even as the economic outlook remains uncertain, the Mission Investment Fund has proven itself as a strong, stable investment and lending institution.

Our strong financial position helps assure our ability to offer security to our investors, meet our financial obligations and carry out our mission.

• Our capital position is rock-solid.  MIF has built up capital, or equity, of more than $175 million, resulting in an equity ratio (net assets to total assets) of more than 27 percent.  This measure of capital adequacy is many times greater than the amount state securities commissioners require and more than double the amount most banks currently maintain.
• MIF operates with prudent but realistic underwriting standards.  Our focus is on helping to build the church and advancing God’s mission by providing manageable ministry loans for capital projects—while maintaining our fiduciary responsibility to our investors.
