Our read on ISMD
In short
CA values screen most investors meet in large-cap form, aimed instead at US small and mid caps. Running since 2017, it tracks an index built on Inspire's own Impact Score, so the screening is rules-based rather than a manager's judgment call.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Inspire Small/Mid Cap Impact Index.
