Inspire 500 ETF

PTL tracks a market-cap-weighted index of 500 large-cap US stocks, selected based on the issuers proprietary criteria of biblical values.

The Inspire 500 ETF, based on Christian values, has underperformed the total market since its launch but is given a Hold rating due to its young age. The PTL ETF aims to replicate the Inspire 500 Index, investing at least 80% of assets in securities aligned with biblical values. PTL's restrictions exclude companies involved in weapons and contraceptives, and it has a yield of about 1.2%, with a growth-oriented style.

Inspire 500 ETF: Not So Much Yet

The Inspire 500 ETF excludes the Magnificent 7 and aligns investments with biblical values, leading to underperformance compared to the S&P 500. PTL's lower tech exposure and higher P/E ratio imply it won't support a core SPY portfolio or act as a counterweight during market downturns. PTL's dividend yield of 0.9% is lower than SPY's 1.2%, offering no advantage for dividend investors.
