MAUMF partners with Fulton Financial Advisors to administer our Genesis Funds. This family of funds developed exclusively for MAUMF and managed by dedicated financial managers, allows for diversification across a broad spectrum of asset classes and categories. These funds are administered by Fulton Financial Advisors, which operates through affiliates of Fulton Financial Corporation and is a $10 billion firm based in Lancaster, PA.

United Methodist Investment Values

All our investments are double screened at the time of purchase against the General Board of Pension’s list of restricted securities thereby assuring every effort has been made to comply with The United Methodist Church’s social principals outlined in the Book of Discipline.

We Exist to Support Our Churches

Half of our 1% fee pays for our investment managers, the other half supports the MAUMF staff and is re-invested to educate and consult with clergy and congregations to promote best practices for financial management and leadership of our churches.
