Who We Are

Wespath is an employee benefits administrator for Methodist/Wesleyan-related organizations and serves as the investment manager for many not-for-profit, mission-driven organizations. While Wespath’s roots are Methodist, our employees represent a multitude of diverse religions, faiths and beliefs.
 

We are an organization committed to providing caring, compassionate and highly competent service to our customers and making a positive impact in people’s lives and the world overall. As a not-for-profit employer, we’re not driven by shareholder expectations. Nonetheless, our financial performance is impressive: we maintain one of the largest reporting faith-based pension and retirement funds in the world and have nearly $30 billion in assets under management (as of December 31, 2021).
