About AQEIX
LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund is an actively managed mutual fund that focuses on long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. equity securities. Distinctively, it integrates Catholic values investing principles, aligning its portfolio selection with the Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines established by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. This process incorporates a rigorous screening to avoid companies engaged in activities inconsistent with Catholic doctrine, such as abortion, contraceptives, and embryonic stem cell research, while engaging in dialogue with companies about practices that may conflict with these values. The fund typically invests at least 80% of its assets in equities and emphasizes companies believed to offer above-average revenue and earnings growth, strong returns on shareholders’ equity, or attractive valuations. Managed by Luther King Capital Management Corporation since its inception in 2005, the fund positions itself as a vehicle for investors who seek to unite financial objectives with faith-based ethical standards in a diversified equity portfolio. Its performance is benchmarked to the S&P 500 Index, and it serves investors seeking to harmonize investment performance with moral considerations in the broader U.S. stock market.
