He is also against gay marriage.
The MP has not invested any of his own money in the firm, but he has used that of his own fund, Somerset Capital Management.
He said that although the money is not his, he does profit from the investment "in a round-about way."
"It’s not my money in these investments and I profit from the total amount of client money we hold, not the investments we make.”Rees-Mogg also said that abortion pills are not something he would "want to invest in personally," but that he had to act according to his investors' needs.
“I don’t manage the funds and haven’t done so since I became an MP.
"But the funds have to be run in accordance with the requirements of the investors and not according to my religious beliefs."
Rees-Mogg is a member of the British Conservative party. He was elected to parliament in 2010.
