Faith-based asset manager Faith Investor Services has expanded its ETF lineup with the launch of three new funds— FIS Bright Portfolios Core Bond ETF (NYSE:BRIB), FIS Faith Income ETF (NYSE:FTHB), and FIS Tactical Equity ETF (NYSE:ACTS) — broadening the firm's offering across both fixed income and equities, all aligned with Christian values.
The launch marks a significant push into fixed-income strategies, an area the firm sees as underserved within values-based investing. According to CEO Steve Nelson, the goal is to deliver competitive returns without compromising faith-based principles. With demand for ethical and faith-aligned investments steadily rising, the firm is positioning its ETFs as core portfolio building blocks for investors seeking both performance and purpose.
Key features of the new ETFs:
- BRIB (Core Bond ETF): Actively managed portfolio of laddered, high-quality corporate bonds focused on income and capital preservation, with values-based screening to exclude companies misaligned with Christian principles.
- FTHB (Faith Income ETF): Diversified core bond strategy targeting steady income and long-term stability, integrating biblical screening with active management across fixed-income sectors.
- ACTS (Tactical Equity ETF): Actively managed equity strategy that dynamically adjusts exposure based on market conditions, balancing growth opportunities with defensive positioning.
- Faith-based screening framework: Proprietary methodology developed in collaboration with Grand Canyon University Colangelo College of Business, combining academic research with ethical evaluation.
- Platform expansion: The new funds join existing ETFs — FIS Christian Stock Fund (NYSE:PRAY) and FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF (NYSE:BRIF) — strengthening its position in the growing niche of faith-driven investment solutions.
