I am just hoping to find a Catholic investor or Catholic company/lending institution if any knows of any.
 
Not sure exactly you’re looking for, but I’m nearly certain Emerald Asset Management was founded and is operated by a Catholic couple.

Hello Phil,

I contacted a few “Catholic” credit unions and they were not affiliated with a Catholic church. They all said that they were with a church many years ago, but now they are a separate entity. I found this a bit disturbing. I didn’t understand why they called and promoted themselves a Catholic credit union.

I will try some other ones and see if the results are the same.
Thank you again.
 
I would be very careful about this. I am a fan of many ETFs and their structure. But the more obscure they get, the more they are thinly traded. And due to the technical nature of how they are managed, a lack of liquidity could be disastrous for a small investor.

For something like this, the Ave Maria funds, being a traditional open ended mutual fund makes much more sense. Much safer.

ETFs were hit hard during a couple of flash crashes, as normal trading resumed, they recovered fine. But there is nothing which guarantees they would always do so. And even if they do, a stop-loss order could be kicked in at the worse possible time.

ETA:. I just checked, CATH has a messily average daily volume of 19,000 shares. Markets closed but I suppose this will be reflected in a very wide spread. Let’s suppose you buy 1000 shares, when you buy, you will be trying to trade 5% of a typical day’s volume in one trade. As a retail trader, you will get stuck with the wrong side of the spread when both buying and selling.

That’s fine. ETFs are both one of the best things to appear in the markets for the retail investor, and one of the worse. It all depends on which fund. When looking at any ETF, always check daily volume (look for millions of shares) and the typical bid/ask spread (look for one penny). Not hard and fast rules, but they tend to be safe.

I THINK it’s because many of them were originally created as part of a parish or diocese. But the vast majority of them grew to the point where they were officially spun themselves off from the Church.

I image that’s what they mean.
 
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I am looking for Catholic investors or lending institutions.
