Beyond ESG: Investing in Line with Catholic Social Teaching.

Most "faith-based" screens stop at the headline issues. KJ Smith will show you the deeper framework — one that catches the moral leakage hiding inside funds that already call themselves Catholic, Christian, or responsible.

Date Thursday, July 30
Time 12:00 PM ET
Format Live on Zoom

Seats are limited. A recording will be sent to registrants who can't attend live.

Your host

A screening framework built from inside the faith, not bolted onto it.

KJ Smith founded Ethos Logos Investments in response to an outcry from Catholic individuals and institutions for a faith-aligned, employer-sponsored retirement plan — one that makes values-based investing accessible to investors of every sophistication level.
