About AVEWX

Ave Maria World Equity Fund is an open-end mutual fund focused on providing long-term capital appreciation through global equity investments. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks of both U.S. and non-U.S. companies, with a requirement that at least 60% be allocated to non-U.S. firms. This approach enables broad exposure across developed and emerging markets, spanning a variety of sectors such as technology, financial services, industrials, and consumer goods. Notably, the fund employs a rigorous screening process to ensure that all equity investments align with the core values and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, avoiding companies whose products or practices are contrary to these principles. Market cap exposure includes companies of all sizes, and the portfolio is typically concentrated in 35-50 holdings, which allows for targeted positioning. The fund’s investment process emphasizes fundamental research and valuation, seeking high-quality companies with above-average returns on capital for inclusion. Through its diversified and value-driven strategy, the Ave Maria World Equity Fund serves investors seeking a faith-based approach to global equity investing with a disciplined focus on long-term growth and ethical considerations.
