Because how you build wealth matters.

Many people believe that aligning investments with their values requires either a massive net worth or deep financial expertise. Harvest was designed to challenge that. As an SEC-registered investment adviser (RIA), we provide a digital platform that seeks to align your portfolio with biblical principles—removing the traditional barriers to entry.


The "Third Way" to Invest

Investors often face a choice between "values-neutral" apps or private advisors with high minimums. Harvest provides a middle ground:

1. Values-Based Screening

We use a disciplined Avoid, Embrace, and Engage framework designed to filter your investments through a biblical lens.


2. Professional Tools, Regardless of Balance

High-end portfolio management shouldn't be gated by your account size. Our platform automates the technical aspects of stewardship:

  • No Account Minimums: Start building your portfolio with as little as $1.

  • Automated Rebalancing: We monitor your holdings and make adjustments designed to keep your risk profile on track.

  • Fractional Shares: We utilize fractional share trading so that your deposits can be diversified across your entire strategy immediately.

3. Transparent Fee Structure

We believe in pricing that is easy to understand.

  • Educational Content: Biblical stewardship modules are provided at no cost.

  • $10/month or $99/year: Standard advisory fee for portfolios under $25k.

  • 0.30% annually: Advisory fee for portfolios $25k and over.


Security & Oversight

Harvest is an SEC-registered Investment Adviser. We do not take custody of your funds; all assets are held by Alpaca Securities LLC, a FINRA-member broker-dealer.

  • Asset Protection: Your brokerage account is SIPC-protected up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash).

  • Data Security: We utilize bank-level encryption and multi-factor authentication to protect your information.


The Bottom Line: You are a steward. Harvest provides the technology and professional oversight to help you invest accordingly.
