Inspire Investing, the world’s largest provider of Christian ETFs, today announced that the Fidelis 100 Index, the underlying benchmark for the Inspire Fidelis Multi Factor ETF (NYSE: FDLS), has received Gold certification from Altum Faithful Investing.
The certification confirms that the Fidelis 100 Index is consistent with the principles of the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church while maintaining its disciplined, rules-based quantitative investment methodology. Certification reflects Altum’s independent methodology and opinions, which may differ from those of other faith-based evaluators. The index was developed by Wallick Investments and serves as the benchmark tracked by FDLS, Inspire’s faith-based multi-factor ETF.
“This recognition is a powerful validation of what makes FDLS unique in the marketplace,” said Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire Investing. “Investors no longer need to choose between deeply held Catholic values and sophisticated evidence-based portfolio construction. FDLS seeks to deliver both in a simple ETF structure.”
