Timothy Plan US Large/Mid Cap Core ETF

TPLC

Market cap $308M

Many have said that midcap stocks are a “sweet spot” of market capitalization. They deliver both growth potential — typically associated with smaller companies — and profitability — usually seen in larger companies.

TPLC is a large/mid-cap core ETF designed to offer broad exposure to stocks passing proprietary Biblically Responsible Investing criteria. Fees are 0.52%, and the fund has $272 million in assets. The Fund seeks to provide high-quality exposure to less volatile stocks. However, its weighting scheme works against these objectives. TPLC is actually more volatile than market-cap-weighted benchmarks like IWB. This weighting scheme also negatively impacts quality. I calculated an 8.16/10 profit score, which is the lowest among the four peers I selected as benchmarks.
