There's a Wall Street axiom that where there's hype, there's a ticker.

For investors seeking to align their financial decisions with their personal values, faith-based ETFs may present a unique opportunity. However, understanding the fee structures associated with these funds is necessary for making informed choices.

The Global X S&P 500 Catholic Values ETF seeks to provide exposure to large-cap companies meeting the Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. While the Guidelines permit taking a minimal position in "mixed investments", CATH outright excludes stocks based on values relating to abortion, contraception, casinos, tobacco, and child labor, among others. This may be acceptable to faith-based investors, but CATH seems to pick and choose when the exclusion criteria apply. Even today, it holds CVS Health, McKesson, and Altria Group.
