ELCV invests in dividend-paying securities, seeking to deliver competitive returns while aligning investments with broader social and environmental goals. The fund aims to achieve a higher average dividend yield than the Bloomberg US 3000 Total Return Index. Portfolio selection combines fundamental research with a commitment to ethical, value-based principles. Initially, it employs a bottom-up research process, evaluating financial strength, dividend potential, and stakeholder value creation. The fund then applies a values-based screening rooted in Christian principles, avoiding industries like tobacco, alcohol, gambling, and weapons. Instead, it favors companies that exhibit responsible management, social justice, and environmental stewardship. While the fund primarily holds large-cap US stocks, it may also include ADRs. Investment focuses on sectors traditionally known for high dividends or growth, such as energy, utilities, industrials, technology, infrastructure, and real estate.
