Inspire Investing today announced that the Inspire 500 ETF (NYSE: PTL) has exceeded $300 million in assets under management (AUM) as of May 2, 2025 —a major milestone for both the firm and the broader Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) movement.
“Crossing the $300 million mark affirms our belief of the growing demand for investments that reflect investor values,” said Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire Investing. “In our experience, more individuals and institutions are seeking alignment between their portfolios and their deeply held beliefs. PTL delivers that alignment—without compromising on cost, transparency, or market exposure.”
Launched on March 25, 2024, PTL offers a 0.09% expense ratio. As of March 31, 2025, PTL was among the lowest of any U.S.-listed faith-based equity ETF, based on publicly available data. The fund provides exposure to U.S. large-cap equities that meet biblical values screening criteria, serving as a core equity allocation for faith-driven investors.
The Inspire 500 ETF seeks to track the Inspire 500 Index, a rules-based, Inspire-provided and maintained index composed of U.S. large-cap companies meeting biblical values criteria. Index methodology is published at www.inspireetf.com/etf/ptl. This proprietary scoring system screens companies based on:
• Exclusionary factors such as involvement in abortion, sexually explicit content, and human rights violations
• Positive impact factors such as charitable giving, community development, and environmental stewardship
Detailed scoring methodology is available in Inspire’s Form ADV Part 2A and at www.inspireetf.com/screening.
Note: Assets under management reflects cumulative investor contributions and is not a measure of past or future investment performance.
Inspire Investing is the world’s largest provider of faith-based ETFs and the creator of the Inspire Impact Score™, used globally to evaluate alignment with Biblically Responsible Investing standards.
