INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has published it's Social Responsible Investment Guidelines which calls the Faithful to exercise faithful, competent and socially responsible stewardship in how it manages its financial resources. As a Catholic organization, we draw from the Conference in regards to the values, directions and criteria which guide its financial choices from the Gospel, universal church teaching and Conference statements. In order to function effectively and to carry out its mission, like the Conference which depends on a reasonable return on its investments and is required to operate in a fiscally sound, responsible and accountable manner, we too share this vision. The combination of religious mandate and fiscal responsibilities suggests the need for a clear and comprehensive set of policies to guide our client's investments and other activities related to corporate responsibility. With this mandate, we work with Mutual Funds, REITS, Trust Deed Investments and more which are designed specifically for morally responsible investors who are looking for financially sound investments in companies that do not violate the core teachings of the Catholic Church.
