EFIVAState Street SPDR S&P 500 ESG ETF

PTLBInspire 500 ETF

In short

EFIV A screened S&P 500 that still looks like one. EFIV trims to about 300 names on ESG criteria but holds industry-group weights close to the parent index, for 0.10% a year.

PTL A 500-stock US large-cap index fund built on Inspire's biblically responsible screen: only companies scoring zero or higher on its Impact Score get in. Familiar large-cap shape, minus the megacap tech names the issuer says the screen keeps out, at 0.09% a year.

Stated mandate

EFIV The Fund seeks to track an index of securities selected using environmental, social, and governance sustainability criteria while retaining industry-group weights broadly similar to the S&P 500 Index.

PTL The Fund seeks to replicate, before fees and expenses, the investment results of the Inspire 500 Index.

Why people hold it

  • EFIV Charges 0.10% a year, well under the 0.25% typical of its values-screened peer group.
  • Keeps industry-group weights broadly similar to the S&P 500, so the screen changes which names you own more than which sectors.
  • Tracks its declared index very tightly, one of the cleaner implementations in its cohort.
  • Straightforward 1940 Act index fund from SPDR, running since 2020, distributing quarterly.
  • PTL 0.09% a year against a 0.25% median for values-screened peers, and level with the cheapest broad ESG index funds like ESGV.inspireetf.com
  • The screen is the product: market-cap weighted exposure to the 500 largest US companies that clear an Inspire Impact Score of zero or higher.inspireetf.com
  • Faith-based funds usually carry boutique pricing. This one is priced like plumbing, and has gathered several hundred million dollars since its 2024 launch.
  • A plain index wrapper with quarterly distributions, and it sits in the upper half of the values-screened group on our review.

Worth knowing

  • EFIV About 300 stocks, not 500. The screens remove names, so results can diverge from the headline S&P 500.
  • Cheaper shelf-mates exist: XVV at 0.08% and ESGV at 0.09% undercut it on fee.
  • Mid-size asset base and moderate trading volume, which can mean wider spreads than the mega-cap index giants.
  • PTL Inspire says the screen leaves out the megacap 'Magnificent 7', so results can diverge widely from a standard S&P 500 fund in either direction.inspireetf.com
  • Trades lightly for its size, so spreads can run wider than on mega-index funds and bigger orders need more care.
  • Launched in March 2024, which is a thin track record to judge risk on.
