Faith Investor Services Launches the FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF (BRIF)

New actively managed ETF combines innovative investment strategies with biblically responsible principles

DALLAS, Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Faith Investor Services, LLC (FIS) and Bright Portfolios, LLC are excited to announce the launch of the FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF, listed on the NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol BRIF. This actively managed ETF is designed to deliver long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in large-cap companies with strong growth potential, while aligning with Christian values.

The FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF views investing as ownership. Ownership comes with an ethical responsibility to advance products, processes and priorities that positively impact the lives of others. The Bright team applies a proprietary "Bright Score" screening process, which incorporates quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify companies that contribute value to others and avoid activities contrary to Christian values.

A Unique Investment Strategy for Faith-Based Investors
Bright Portfolios, LLC serves as the sub-adviser for the fund, employing a disciplined, research-driven approach to uncover companies that add value to humanity, are amid robust profit cycles and trade at a compelling value. The fund strives to outperform the MSCI USA Index over the long term while maintaining broad diversification across sectors and regions.

"Faith-based investing is at the core of what we do," said Mike Skillman, CEO of Faith Investor Services. "The launch of BRIF reflects our commitment to providing investment options that allow Christian investors to achieve financial growth while staying true to their values."

Biblically Responsible Investing
The ETF exclusively invests in companies meeting strict ethical criteria. These principles extend to ongoing monitoring and regular reviews to ensure portfolio companies maintain alignment with Christian values. If a company's practices diverge from these standards, its securities will be sold or excluded.
