Catholic investment managers and institutions have pledged to begin building a comprehensive set of faith-aligned investment services in 2025, aiming to align $1.75 trillion with Catholic Social Teaching. The initiatives stem from the second Mensuram Bonam conference in London, where leaders from 16 countries gathered to advance Christian-aligned financial practices. 

Key projects include a new Catholic market index, a proxy-voting consortium, long-term performance research, expanded fund identification, and a standardized reporting model to help investors monitor faith-consistent strategies more easily. 

These efforts reflect growing demand for portfolios that deliver competitive returns while avoiding activities inconsistent with Church teachings. 

Finsum:  With Christian assets large these initiatives could mark a turning point in building a global market for Catholic and Christian investors.
