ISMD Profile
The Inspire Small/Mid Cap Impact ESG ETF is designed to offer investors exposure to small and mid-cap domestic equities with a focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impact. The fund allocates at least 80% of its total assets to the component securities of its underlying index, which is specifically crafted to include companies that meet certain ESG criteria.
The index tracks a selection of publicly traded, small- and mid-cap U.S. companies with market capitalizations ranging from $1 billion to $3.5 billion. These companies are chosen based on their Inspire Impact Score, a proprietary metric that assesses their ESG performance and impact. Companies included in the index must have an Inspire Impact Score of zero or higher, ensuring that only those with positive or neutral ESG contributions are represented.
By investing in this ETF, stakeholders gain access to a diversified portfolio of growth-oriented small- and mid-cap companies that demonstrate commitment to responsible business practices. The focus on companies with a strong ESG impact aligns with broader trends toward sustainable investing and corporate responsibility.
Managed by Inspire, the ETF provides a strategic option for investors seeking to balance potential returns with ethical considerations. The funds emphasis on impact and sustainability reflects a growing preference for investments that not only offer financial returns but also contribute positively to society and the environment.
