With a primary focus on equity securities, the fund allocates approximately 60% of its portfolio to this asset class, along with certain other instruments that may include ETFs or indices. The strategy emphasizes "passive" management, striving for long-term capital growth by tracking specific market indices or sectors, rather than actively picking stocks. This method is intended to provide stable, risk-adjusted returns over time.

This segment of the portfolio aims to offer investors a steady income stream while preserving capital and mitigating risks associated with equity investments. The fixed-income securities selected adhere to the fund's Catholic responsible investment criteria, ensuring that investments are made in bonds and other instruments that reflect ethical financial practices.
