Boise, ID, April 7, 2025 – Inspire Investing, the world’s largest provider of faith-based ETFs, celebrates the 1st anniversary of the groundbreaking Inspire 500 ETF (NYSE: PTL), the lowest cost large cap faith-based ETF currently available (as of 3/17/25).
After launch on March 25, 2024, PTL grew to $100M AUM in just 11 days and currently holds over $286M AUM, as of March 26, 2025. PTL offers a 0.09% expense ratio, giving faith-based investors access to U.S. large cap, biblically screened companies at the lowest price point available.
"We launched PTL to give investors a low-cost, faith-based alternative to traditional large-cap funds, and we're thrilled to see the strong response in its first year," said Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire Investing. "This milestone reinforces the demand for fund solutions that honor God and provide competitive investment opportunities."
PTL was launched on March 25, 2024, and is constructed to be a core holding for equity portfolio allocations by providing exposure to the 500 largest United States companies (by market cap) with biblical values alignment determined by Inspire Impact Scores of zero or higher. With no exposure to the “Magnificent 7”, an expense ratio of just 0.09%, and a passive, market cap-weighted index construction, PTL seeks to provide low-cost, efficient equity exposure to investors.
