New ETFs provide investors with expanded stock and bond investment options aligned with values across Christian denominations.
DALLAS, TX — [March 19, 2026] — Faith Investor Services, LLC (“FIS”), a faith-based investment firm offering ETFs and wealth management solutions aligned with Christian values, today announced the launch of three new exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This expands the firm’s faith-based ETF platform to five total funds.
The newly launched ETFs are all listed on NYSE Arca and include the FIS Bright Portfolios Core Bond ETF (ticker: BRIB), the FIS Faith Income ETF (ticker: FTHB), and the FIS Tactical Equity ETF (ticker: ACTS). These new ETFs join the firm’s existing offerings, the FIS Christian Stock Fund (ticker: PRAY) and the FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF (ticker: BRIF), providing investors with both stock and bond investment solutions aligned with their values.
“Our fundamental job at Faith Investor Services, whether in ETFs or wealth management, is performance in a faithful manner,” said Steve Nelson, Chairman and CEO of Faith Investor Services. “We believe investors should not have to choose between pursuing strong financial outcomes and remaining aligned with their Christian faith.”
The new launches significantly expand the firm’s fixed-income capabilities. Two of the three ETFs provide faith-aligned bond exposure designed to serve as core portfolio holdings, addressing what the firm sees as a significant gap in the marketplace for values-based fixed-income strategies. Today, faith-based investing represents a small portion of the U.S. investment landscape, but demand continues to grow as more advisors and investors seek investment options aligned with their values.
The three ETFs joining FIS’ platform are:
• FIS Bright Portfolios Core Bond ETF (BRIB): An actively managed fixed-income ETF designed to provide income and capital preservation through a diversified portfolio of laddered, high-quality corporate bonds. BRIB seeks to prioritize companies whose products and services add value toward the common good while avoiding companies that profit from products or services that harm others or violate the sanctity of human life. This values-based screening is applied alongside rigorous fundamental analysis of credit quality and yield. The fund is sub-advised by Bright Portfolios, LLC.
• FIS Faith Income ETF (FTHB): An actively managed, biblically aligned core bond ETF seeking current income with long-term capital preservation as a secondary objective. FTHB seeks to provide diversified bond exposure across traditional fixed-income sectors. Biblical values screening is incorporated throughout the investment process, combining disciplined research with active portfolio management. The fund is sub-advised by Asterozoa Management LLC.
o The Fund’s proprietary, biblically informed screening framework was developed in research collaboration with Grand Canyon University’s Colangelo College of Business, integrating academic rigor with real-world portfolio management. Under faculty supervision, students from finance, computer science, marketing, and theology contribute quantitative and qualitative research, strategic marketing insight, and faith-based ethical evaluation, working in research collaboration with Asterozoa and FIS. All portfolio construction, credit selection, and risk management decisions are made exclusively by Asterozoa, the Fund’s SEC-registered sub-adviser.
FIS Tactical Equity ETF (ACTS): An actively managed, biblically screened equity ETF designed to adjust exposure based on market conditions through a tactical offense-and-defense approach. ACTS seeks to participate in equity market growth during favorable conditions while adopting a more defensive posture during periods of elevated stock market risk. The strategy integrates faith-based screening with active risk management for investors who seek alignment between their portfolios and biblical values. The fund is managed by Jay Peroni, CFP®, supported by John Rowley, CFA, of the Faith Investor Services Investment Team.
FIS is heavily influenced by the Generous Giving™ movement. FIS is structured with a mission-oriented purpose, with the long-term goal to direct the firm’s net equity to endow the church. As demand for values-aligned investment strategies continues to grow, the firm expects to further expand its ETF platform with additional faith-based investment offerings in the years ahead.
“FIS is honored that Bright Portfolios is launching their second fund with us and that Asterozoa also chose the FIS ETF platform,” continued Nelson. “These are great partners in faith-based investing and together, we seek enduring Kingdom impact. Like many aspects of the Colangelo College of Business, our research collaboration with Grand Canyon University is truly innovative. It represents an exciting initiative for FIS.”
