The paper explores the effects of different religion groups on portfolio investment decisions for the case of UK households both in terms of mean and the volatility of such choices. The findings illustrate that certain groups (Catholics, Buddhists and Others/Atheists) favor investments in risky assets, while they increase the associated volatility. The results support the undertaking of higher speculative risk by those groups, while they provide information on a new factor for portfolio choice.
