Featuring Merrill Lynch Bank of America 

The Catholic Foundation was honored to have a dynamic lineup of speakers to provide a faith-filled market forecast for the current year on February 11th, 2021. Fund holders and friends gathered for the hour-long information session hosted with our friends at Merrill Lynch and other leaders across the country. Panelist dialogued and presented on the state of the market and the impact on values-based Catholic investing.

Our Catholic community is grateful for our fundholders who commit to faith-based investing. When we prioritize Catholic values as a community, we set an example and pave the way for a more just and hopeful world.

Get involved: the Foundation team can share what has worked for others in similar situations — or help you formulate a unique strategy just for you.
