An interview with Michael Troutman (MBA '81)

Michael Troutman (MBA '81)

What are your causes?

1) Money and faith: how we individually and corporately make money decisions that are faithful to our core values; with two subfoci: (a) Socially responsible investing (b) End global hunger and deep poverty through the public policy advocacy work of Bread for the World.

How do you contribute?

(1) First a 25 year career in investment management, with 19 years managing the pension fund of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America building a successful multi-billion dollar institutional portfolio that incorporated the church's social principles with negative screens, targeted investments and shareholder advocacy. (2) After attending seminary, becoming a diaconal minister and becoming a development officer with Bread for the World. I have the privilege of engaging individuals in their personal decisions with wealth and generosity, while helping nudge our country's policies toward care and empowerment of the world's hungry. (3) In the mid 1990s, worked for two years in several micro-lending programs in Nicaragua as a lay Lutheran missionary.

What are important lessons you learned?

Everyone has a story to share from the poorest fish monger in Central American to wealthy retirees in America. At the deepest levels we each seek to build a better lives for our families and to make a positive difference in the world. While the journey to do so is deeply personal, we are similar called to bring our unique gifts and experience to the crying needs of the world.

Where can we learn more about what you're doing?

For the advocacy work of Bread for the World: www.bread.org and http://alliancetoendhunger.org

For my recent masters thesis on how attitudes about faith and money have evolved in American Christianity see:
