USCCB Compliant Portfolios Are Available for Third Party Investment Advisors
Like all of your clients, Catholic investors are looking for a good return on their investment. The process of selecting a good portfolio for a Catholic client is very similar to that of any other client. The biggest difference is being sure you have screened out any businesses engaged in activities that are offensive to Catholic moral teaching.
Don’t risk antagonizing a Catholic client with a poorly vetted portfolio, take advantage of our USCCB compliant options.

The USCCB has laid out very clear guidelines for Catholic investors. Ensuring a portfolio does not violate these guidelines can be difficult. Thoroughly sifting through every equity to screen out those a Catholic should not invest in is a time consuming process. Instead of spending all that time and still not being 100% certain the portfolio will pass muster, become one of our third party investment advisors.
Give Catholic Clients the Portfolio They Want with Minimal Overhead
We understand that other financial advisors want to offer their Catholic clients a portfolio that fits their need. The only difficulty lies in making sure the investment strategy does not violate Catholic moral teaching. This is why we have extended our Catholic investing strategies to other financial advisors, Catholic or not.
You do not need to be Catholic to offer your clients USCCB compliant portfolios.
Whether you are Catholic yourself or not, our investment portfolios are available to you. We are interested in promoting authentic, Catholic investments and want our portfolios to be as widely available as possible. Our strategies even go beyond just excluding certain companies, we actively engage in advocacy work, as the USCCB guidelines dictate.
Getting started is very simple. We’ve done all the hard work of screening out the morally problematic equities and keep on top of developments. You can begin offering your clients our Catholic portfolios almost immediately and you don’t have to worry about staying abreast of changing corporate policies.
