TPIF Profile
The Timothy Plan International ETF aims to provide investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of international equities, focusing on global markets outside of the United States. To achieve its investment objectives, the fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets either directly or indirectly in the securities that are part of the Victory International Volatility Weighted BRI Index. This index is designed to capture the performance of international stocks while incorporating a unique risk management strategy.
The Victory International Volatility Weighted BRI Index, developed by the Sub-Advisor, is an unmanaged index that utilizes a volatility weighting methodology rather than traditional market capitalization weighting. By focusing on volatility, the index aims to manage individual security risk more effectively, weighting stocks based on their price stability rather than their market size. This approach is intended to reduce the impact of highly volatile stocks on the index, potentially leading to a more stable investment performance.
The index combines fundamental criteria to select international equities with a sophisticated risk control mechanism. It targets companies with solid fundamentals but adjusts their weight in the index based on their volatility. This methodology seeks to balance exposure to international markets with risk management, aiming to enhance returns while mitigating potential losses from volatile securities. The ETF's investment strategy is designed to provide investors with a more stable and potentially rewarding international equity exposure.
The Timothy Plan International ETF offers a strategic approach to global investing by integrating a volatility-weighted index to manage risk and optimize returns. The fund's focus on international stocks allows investors to diversify their portfolios geographically, benefiting from growth opportunities outside the U.S. The active management of the ETF ensures that it remains aligned with its investment objectives, adapting to market conditions and providing a well-rounded approach to global equity investing.
