How did the Fund perform last year?

The Institutional U.S. Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) managed by Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”), Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC, RhumbLine Advisers (“RhumbLine”) and Wellington Management Company, LLP (“Wellington”) returned 18.39% for the fiscal year compared to 21.89% for the MSCI USA Index.

The fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 was marked by strong equity market performance despite heightened geopolitical uncertainty and higher interest rates. Resilient corporate earnings and continued investment in AI infrastructure helped drive broad market gains, although leadership remained highly concentrated among a relatively small group of companies.

The Portfolio underperformed the benchmark primarily due to Parametric's modest bias toward developed markets outside the U.S. Mellon underperformed due to its modest bias towards low-volatility stocks. During the fiscal year, RhumbLine’s performance of 21.92% was slightly behind its Russell 1000 Index benchmark which returned 21.99%. The Russell 1000 Index modestly outperformed the MSCI USA Index due to its exposure to a more diversified set of U.S. securities that resulted in a bias towards securities with smaller market capitalization than the benchmark. Wellington implements a public real estate strategy which, while in line with the real estate market, underperformed broad equity markets as elevated rates caused REITs to lag.

How did the Fund perform last year?

The Catholic SRI Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) managed by Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”) returned 21.16% for the fiscal year compared to 21.81% for the MSCI World Index.

The Portfolio’s under-performance can be attributed primarily to the screening that is required to adhere to Catholic values, which is managed by Mellon. The screening resulted in an underweight to the health care sector relative to the benchmark, and this positioning was the largest detractor from relative performance.

The Portfolio is diversified across securities to ensure proper portfolio diversification, with the goal of providing competitive long-term returns in as consistent a manner as possible. As a result, it is expected that some styles will be leading at times, while others are lagging and vice versa. The Portfolio expects to participate in this cyclicality of styles by maintaining market exposure comparable to MSCI World Index.

The Portfolio requires that the underlying managers integrate Catholic values in their investment selections, which includes negative screens. Mellon uses third-party data to implement the negative screens in the Portfolio.

How did the Fund perform last year?

The Institutional International Equity Portfolio (the “Institutional Portfolio”) managed by City of London Investment Management Company, Limited (“City of London”), Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”) and Parametric returned 16.02% for the fiscal year compared to 20.80% for the MSCI EAFE Index.

The fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, was marked by strong international equity market performance despite heightened geopolitical uncertainty and higher interest rates. Both International Developed and Emerging Market Equities posted strong returns, supported by resilient corporate earnings, improving economic sentiment and continued investment in AI infrastructure, particularly across Taiwan and South Korea.

The Institutional Portfolio underperformed its benchmark. The majority of the assets are managed by Mellon and Parametric with a core mandate to provide passive exposure to the benchmark index (MSCI EAFE Index). Parametric underperformed due to its underweight to Japan equities. Within its Japan exposure, Parametric had a modest bias toward small cap stocks which detracted from relative performance. This allows the Portfolio to have cash on hand to meet redemptions and invest opportunistically. Mellon underperformed due to its bias towards low-volatility stocks. City of London underperformed due to an unfavorable environment for its closed-end fund strategy that seeks portfolio appreciation derived from a top-down macro process, bottom-up stock picking and a narrowing of the closed-end fund discount to net asset value. The Portfolios are diversified across multiple managers and strategies, with the goal of providing superior long-term returns in as stable and consistent a manner as possible. As a result, some managers and styles will periodically lead or lag, and the Portfolio expects performance to reflect this style cyclicality.

The Emerging Markets Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) managed by City of London Investment Management Company, Limited (“City of London”), Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”) and Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (“Parametric”) returned 44.13% for the fiscal year compared to 44.18% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

The fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 was marked by strong equity market performance despite heightened geopolitical uncertainty and higher interest rates. Emerging Market Equities posted exceptional returns, driven by robust earnings growth and sustained demand for semiconductors and AI infrastructure, particularly across Taiwan and South Korea.

In fiscal year 2026, the Portfolio modestly underperformed the benchmark. The allocation to City of London contributed positively, aided by favorable conditions for its closed-end fund strategy. Parametric underperformed due to its exposure to onshore China equities. The Portfolio provides broad access to international emerging markets equity. Managed with multiple managers to provide diversification of manager style as well as diversification of firm specific risks. Mellon’s strategy provides passive exposure to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Portfolio diversifies amongst a large number of names and across geographies and sectors. Parametric replicates benchmark index (MSCI Emerging Markets Index) using futures. This allows the Portfolio to have cash on hand to meet redemptions and invest opportunistically.

The Core Fixed Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) managed by Agincourt Capital Management, LLC (“Agincourt”) and Mellon Investments Corporation returned 3.00% for the fiscal year compared to 3.79% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Bar Cap”).

Bond markets experienced heightened volatility during the year as resilient economic growth, persistent inflation concerns and geopolitical uncertainty caused investors to reassess the path of interest rates. Treasury yields moved higher for much of the year as expectations shifted toward a higher-for-longer rate environment, weighing on longer-duration bonds. Despite these headwinds, higher starting yields continued to provide attractive income, and core fixed income delivered modest positive returns while maintaining its role as a source of portfolio diversification.

The Portfolio underperformed the benchmark. A reduced allocation to spread sectors, including corporate and securitized credit, detracted from performance. The Portfolio is allocated across the three major Bar Cap Index sectors: governments, credit and asset-backed securities. Government and asset-backed sectors are passively managed to track their benchmarks, with slight variances due to cash flows and representative holdings. The credit portfolio characteristics, such as duration, yield and credit quality, remain aligned with the benchmark.

The Corporate Opportunities Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) managed by City of London Investment Management Company, Limited (“City of London”) and Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (“Parametric”) returned 4.97% for the fiscal year compared to 5.99% for the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Ba/B 2% Issuer Capped Index and 3.79% for the U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

The Portfolio underperformed the benchmark due to the Parametric strategy which seeks to both replicate the risk profile of the benchmark while providing protection from widening credit spreads. Parametric manages a portfolio of futures contracts that reflects the underlying risks of the asset class as well as credit default swap index contracts.

During the fiscal year, high yield credit spreads remained historically tight despite periodic market volatility, creating a challenging environment for strategies that benefited from wider spreads and serving as the principal driver of under-performance. Parametric uses a mix of equity and fixed income futures that replicate the risk profile of the benchmark. A component of the equity mix at Parametric was replaced with City of London's equity strategy which underperformed the MSCI USA Index due to security selection and a widening of the discounts among the closed-end funds it held. City of London attempts to deliver excess returns through its top-down macro process, bottom-up stock picking and a narrowing of the closed-end fund discount to net asset value.

Treasury yields moved higher for much of the year, weighing on longer-duration bonds. The portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the twelve-month reporting period. An allocation to closed-end funds managed by City of London contributed positively to performance.
