Owning Stock in Non-Kosher Food

Question

Is it prohibited to invest in non kosher food companies in the stock exchange?

Answer

Thank you for your question. It is permitted to purchase stock shares in non-Kosher food companies, as long as you would not have a say in the everyday running of the company.

Take care,
Rabbi Aaron Tendler
