PTL: Inspire's Faith-Based Screens Come At A Quality Cost
Inspire 500 ETF applies proprietary faith-based screens to the 500 largest U.S. companies by market cap. Its expense ratio is 0.09%, and the ETF has $646 million in assets under management. Inspire screens for "violations" and "excellence", but regardless of whether these screens are sufficient from a biblically responsible investing perspective, they come at a significant quality cost. My overweight and underweight holdings analysis will demonstrate that by excluding the Magnificent 7 and other market leaders, PTL's margins and capital efficiency ratios materially worsen.

Inspire 500 ETF: Not So Much Yet
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.
PTL: Neither Outperformer Nor Counterbalance To SPY And Its Mag-7-Dominant Holdings
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.
