GLRY vs SEIM

GLRYCInspire Growth ETF

SEIMASEI QiM U.S. Large Cap Momentum Active ETF

In short

GLRY A biblically screened take on momentum: an active, quantitative hunt for mid-cap U.S. stocks that clear Inspire's faith-based screen first. Costs 0.80% net of a waiver through March 31, 2027.

SEIM Momentum with a chaperone. SEI's quant model buys U.S. large caps that have been running, then leans on quality, value and low volatility to sand off the edges, all for 0.15% a year.

Stated mandate

GLRY The Fund seeks growth and to outperform the broader U.S. mid-cap stock market. It uses an active, quantitative screening process to select mid-cap companies with perceived near-term outperformance potential.

SEIM The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. common stocks with relatively strong recent performance, using quantitative active stock selection and portfolio optimization.

Why people hold it

• GLRY The faith screen comes first. Names must clear Inspire's rules-based Impact Score, then the quantitative work ranks what is left.inspireinvesting.com
• Mid-cap hunting ground in a peer group that leans large: the mandate targets mid-size U.S. companies, unlike large-cap momentum rivals such as SEIM.
• Concentrated and genuinely active: a few dozen names chosen stock by stock, live since 2020, from a shop built around biblically responsible investing.stockanalysis.com

• SEIM Charges 0.15% a year, a fraction of the typical fund in its active momentum peer group and level with the cheapest brand-name momentum ETFs like MTUM.
• Not pure chase-the-winners: the prospectus model also weighs quality, value and low volatility, so recent strength gets vetted, not just ranked.
• Roughly 70 names, concentrated enough for the factor to actually show up, run as an active quant mandate rather than a fixed index rebuild.
• Stacks up as one of the stronger implementations among the systematic U.S. momentum funds we cover.

Worth knowing

• GLRY At 0.80% net of a waiver through March 31, 2027 (0.87% gross), it sits above the category median and well above index momentum such as JMOM at 0.12%.
• A smaller fund that trades lightly, so spreads can run wider than in the giant factor ETFs and bigger orders take more care.
• No index to check it against. Inspire picks the names, and the screen excludes whole industries, so the portfolio can look little like the broad mid-cap market.inspireinvesting.com

• SEIM Momentum buys what has already moved. When market leadership rotates, this style can turn over quickly and trail the broad market.
• Launched in 2022, so the live record is short and hasn't spanned many market regimes.
• Mid-sized and moderately traded, so bid-ask spreads are worth a glance at the moment you trade.
