Offering will be the faith-based asset manager’s first foray into ETFs

GOSHEN, IN – Praxis Investment Management, Inc., a company of Everence Financial^® and a leading faith-based investment manager, today filed an initial registration statement with the SEC for two exchange-traded funds (ETFs) – Praxis Impact Large Cap Growth ETF (PRXG) and Praxis Impact Large Cap Value ETF (PRXV). Both are expected to launch in early 2025, pending regulatory review, and will be listed on the NYSE.

The Praxis ETFs are expected to deploy similar quantitative equity strategies to those used in two of the firm’s mutual funds, the Praxis Growth Index Fund (MMDEX) and the Praxis Value Index Fund (MVIIX).

“We look forward to launching these two new ETFs as we work to meet the practical investment needs of faith-based investors seeking to align their portfolios with their values and help promote positive real-world impacts,” said Praxis President Chad Horning, CFA. “We are glad to contribute to growing the ETF marketplace for faith-based investors.”

“As with our mutual funds, we anticipate applying values and risk screening together with sustainability integration to ensure our ETFs embody our stewardship investing core values,” said Benjamin Bailey, CFA, Vice President of Investments. “We then use optimization techniques as we seek to approximate the returns of a benchmark index.”
