Our read on CEFA

ETF.net Research

In short

CDeveloped-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.

Stated mandate

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.
