Australian Shares Catholic Values ETF
Overview
Fund objective
The Fund aims to provide an investment return that tracks the performance of the Solactive Australian Equities Catholic Values Index, before taking into account fees and expenses.
Benefits
Built on Catholic values
The Fund tracks an index that applies Catholic values-based exclusionary screens developed primarily with reference to the Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
Core portfolio allocation to Australian equities
Built from a broad Australian share market index before Catholic values screens are applied, with sector and stock weights kept close to the broad market, the Fund offers diversified exposure to more than 150 companies, making it well suited for use as a core building block in a portfolio.
Convenient, low-cost access
The Fund provides convenient, low-cost access to a broad portfolio of Australian shares through a single ETF traded on the ASX, with management fees and costs of 0.35% p.a.*
* Other costs, such as transaction costs, may apply. Refer to the PDS for more information.

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
