The growth of the ‘green’ economy is amazing. What started small years ago has grown into a real force. Companies are aware of making their products environmentally friendly and advertising to this segment of the population. This trend has made its mark on mutual funds too.

All funds that have criteria other than economic factors are lumped into the category of Socially Responsible Investments (SRI). According to The Trends in SRI investing in the US Report, SRI funds grew 18% percent in asset versus 3% for the broader market from 2005-2007. Most of this growth has come from green SRI funds.

I wonder what Catholics could do if we joined forces. About 25% of the population is Catholic. Our goal is to introduce you to products and concepts with a Catholic voice. Get involved.

Most people are not investment experts and they don’t know where to start. Invest Catholic was created to solve this problem. The plan is to inform and to make you aware of the products that are available. Living your faith in your portfolio can be simple. Keep it that way.

Is a Catholic investment a Catholic company or a company with a Catholic CEO? Not always.
