Our read on CEFA
BDeveloped-market stocks outside the U.S., run through a Catholic values screen. Roughly 400 names, index-tracked, at a fee that sits square in the middle of the international pack.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the S&P Developed ex-U.S. Catholic Values Index.
Why people hold it
- The screen is the product: a passive index of developed-market companies outside the U.S., built around Catholic values criteria rather than a factor tilt.
- Roughly 400 holdings, so the values filter trims the developed ex-U.S. universe instead of shrinking it to a concentrated handful.
- 0.35% expense ratio, the median for its international peer group. The screen is not priced as a premium product.
- Rules-based and index-tracking since its 2020 launch: the portfolio follows the S&P Developed ex-U.S. Catholic Values Index, not a manager's discretion.
Worth knowing
- Unscreened international beta costs less: VXUS charges 0.05% and IPAC 0.09%. The values filter is what the extra basis points buy.
- Thinly traded, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than in the giant international index funds, especially around the open and close.
- Distributions arrive once or twice a year, not monthly, so cash flow is lumpy by design.
