PTL Stock Discussion

Northern Lights Fund Trust IV Inspire 500 ETF Description

PTL is passively managed to invest in US large-cap stocks that align with the issuer's definition of biblical values and positive impact on the world, measured using various environmental, social, and governance criteria. The index provider analyzes publicly available and third-party data to assign a proprietary Impact Score to each eligible stock. The methodology excludes stocks with any degree of involvement in activities such as abortion, gambling, alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, stem cell research, in vitro fertilization, pornography, rights violations, and LGBT activism. The remaining stocks are scored based on how well they align with the issuer's values, considering factors including business ethics, employee wellbeing, customer welfare, product safety, ecological impact, and GHG emissions. The index selects the 500 highest-scoring stocks and weights them by market capitalization. Index components are reconstituted and rebalanced annually.
