CATH Stock Recent News

The Global X S&P 500 Catholic Values ETF seeks to provide exposure to large-cap companies meeting the Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. While the Guidelines permit taking a minimal position in "mixed investments", CATH outright excludes stocks based on values relating to abortion, contraception, casinos, tobacco, and child labor, among others. This may be acceptable to faith-based investors, but CATH seems to pick and choose when the exclusion criteria apply. Even today, it holds CVS Health, McKesson, and Altria Group.

 Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, appeared on ETF Edge to discuss ESG investing along with DWS's Arne Noack, S&P Global's Mona Naqvi, and host Bob Pisani.
