ESIM Eventide International ETF

About this ETF

The Eventide International ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that provides investors with exposure to international equity markets outside the United States. Launched by Eventide Asset Management as the firm's first dedicated ex-US fund, it targets large- and mid-cap companies across a broad range of global markets, benchmarked against the Bloomberg World ex US Large & Mid Cap Total Return Index—a float market-cap-weighted index covering the top 85% of market capitalization in those regions. The ETF employs Eventide's proprietary Business 360® methodology to screen potential holdings, rigorously evaluating companies on over 50 ethical issues to ensure they demonstrate good products and practices that create value for stakeholders and contribute to human flourishing. This faith-based filtering forms a curated investable universe, followed by quantitative risk modeling to optimize the portfolio for alignment with benchmark factors such as beta, style, and sector exposure, while maintaining an active strategy rather than passive indexing. Managed by Chris Grogan, CFA, and Tyler Frugia, the fund seeks long-term capital appreciation for values-driven investors in a space with limited faith-aligned international options—only 22 such equity funds existed as of late 2024. Eventide International ETF expands the firm's systematic ETF lineup, blending uncompromising adherence to principles with efficient, benchmark-like performance characteristics.
