About AVEDX

The Ave Maria Rising Dividend Fund is an open-end mutual fund focused on delivering a rising stream of dividend income, long-term capital growth, and a reasonable level of current income. Its primary investment strategy is to allocate at least 80% of net assets to common stocks of dividend-paying companies expected to increase their dividends over time. The fund emphasizes companies with robust financial health and consistent earnings growth, targeting those positioned to raise dividends, which can help reduce volatility and cushion returns during market downturns. Distinctively, the fund employs a faith-based screening process, investing only in companies that align with the moral teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, thereby excluding businesses whose activities conflict with these values. The portfolio spans across various sectors and may include companies of all market capitalizations, both domestic and foreign. With a relatively concentrated portfolio and a disciplined approach to valuation, the Ave Maria Rising Dividend Fund occupies a unique niche, appealing to investors seeking both steady income growth and adherence to specific ethical investment criteria within the large blend category.
