About KCEIX

The Knights of Columbus Long/Short Equity Fund I Shares is an actively managed mutual fund that employs a long/short equity strategy, combining both long positions in stocks expected to appreciate and short positions in those anticipated to decline. This approach is designed to provide diversification and reduce market risk, making the fund a potential stabilizer within investor portfolios, especially during periods of market turbulence. Distinctively, it is the only Catholic long/short mutual fund globally, adhering to the ethical investing guidelines established by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). This ensures that the fund not only pursues returns but also aligns with values-based screening criteria. The fund utilizes a hybrid quantitative and fundamental process for stock selection, targeting high-quality companies based on valuation and earnings quality, among other factors. With a net long bias but the flexibility for net short exposure, the fund also holds significant cash allocations when risk management necessitates. Its role in the financial market is to serve investors seeking to combine ethical considerations with alternative investment strategies that aim for capital appreciation and risk mitigation.
