Wealth Management With a Catholic Focus
Aligning your financial plan and investment strategy with your Catholic values.
Carry your faith throughout all aspects of your life with comprehensive solutions connected to your beliefs.
Your Catholic beliefs likely already influence several aspects of your life — like where you send your children to school, to which organizations you volunteer your time, whom you marry and how you spend your leisure time. But have you considered how your religious values might weave into planning for your financial future?
As a registered investment advisory firm, we have a fiduciary obligation to always act in your best interests. Our Catholic Focus offering allows you to incorporate your values into a number of areas, including:
- Investing
- Charitable and legacy giving
- Estate planning and donor-advised funds
- Medical and healthcare directives
- End-of-life planning
Our Investment Approach
At Creative Planning, we respect each client’s unique goals and priorities. As part of the Catholic Focus offering, we take into account a combination of your religious beliefs, social impact goals and philanthropic priorities. Our team of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals, CPAs and attorneys will work together to design a financial strategy and an investment portfolio that align with your Catholic values so that you can meet your goals while holding true to your religious values. It’s not just about monetary return — it’s about being a good steward and the impact you have on your community.
When it comes to building and maintaining our Catholic Focus investment portfolio, all candidate companies are vetted via an in-depth screening process. We’ll employ the principles of Catholic social thought to examine the way companies treat their workers, the things companies produce, and how companies use their wealth. As a final step in the process, all candidate companies will be thoroughly evaluated by religious scholars in order to help Creative Planning continually curate an investment portfolio that aligns with Catholic values.
How We Can Help
We’ll help you design and implement a comprehensive plan for achieving your goals while keeping your religious values in mind.
Investing
Invest in organizations whose missions align with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) socially responsible investment guidelines.
Charitable and legacy giving
Plan your giving strategy around organizations that positively impact the world and don’t go against your faith.
Estate planning and donor advised funds
Pass along your religious values to future generations through wills, trusts, foundations, donor advised funds and more.
Medical and healthcare directives
Prepare for health crises and your eventual passing by requesting visits by Church clergy, end-of-life communion and specific funeral arrangements.
