CATHBGlobal X S&P 500 Catholic Values ETF

EFIVAState Street SPDR S&P 500 ESG ETF

In short

CATH Same S&P 500 neighborhood, screened through Catholic doctrine instead of a generic ESG rating. Global X has run this faith-based cut of the index since 2016.

EFIV A screened S&P 500 that still looks like one. EFIV trims to about 300 names on ESG criteria but holds industry-group weights close to the parent index, for 0.10% a year.

Stated mandate

CATH The fund seeks investment results that generally correspond to the performance of the S&P 500® Catholic Values Index before fees and expenses.

EFIV The Fund seeks to track an index of securities selected using environmental, social, and governance sustainability criteria while retaining industry-group weights broadly similar to the S&P 500 Index.

Why people hold it

  • CATH The screen is the whole point: it tracks the S&P 500 Catholic Values Index, filtering the benchmark on faith-based criteria rather than a broad ESG score.globalxetfs.com
  • Still core-shaped underneath: roughly 400 large US companies, index-tracked, no stock-picker's hunches in the mix.
  • Live since 2016 and now over a billion dollars in assets, running on an S&P-built index rather than an in-house screen.
  • The portfolio sticks tightly to the index it names, so the label and the holdings tell the same story.
  • EFIV Charges 0.10% a year, well under the 0.25% typical of its values-screened peer group.
  • Keeps industry-group weights broadly similar to the S&P 500, so the screen changes which names you own more than which sectors.
  • Tracks its declared index very tightly, one of the cleaner implementations in its cohort.
  • Straightforward 1940 Act index fund from SPDR, running since 2020, distributing quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • CATH At 0.29% a year it runs above the typical fund in its screened-equity group, and well above bare-bones S&P 500 ESG trackers like SNPE and XVV.
  • Trading volume is modest next to the biggest names in the category, so spreads can be wider. That cost shows up at the moment you transact.
  • Excluding companies means this is not the S&P 500. Results can drift from the parent index in either direction, and distributions come only once or twice a year.
  • EFIV About 300 stocks, not 500. The screens remove names, so results can diverge from the headline S&P 500.
  • Cheaper shelf-mates exist: XVV at 0.08% and ESGV at 0.09% undercut it on fee.
  • Mid-size asset base and moderate trading volume, which can mean wider spreads than the mega-cap index giants.
