140 advisors and guests from across the U.S. joined Inspire Investing to ring the Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange on July 1st and celebrate the launching of PTL – the lowest cost large cap faith-based ETF currently available (as of 5/6/24).
“It is an honor to ring the Closing Bell at NYSE, but to have so many advisors join us who recognize the enormous potential of the faith-based investing market is incredibly exciting,” said Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire Investing. “This is just the beginning of a movement to provide faith-based clients with competitive investment strategies that align with their values.

Inspire staff and their guests enjoyed exclusive access to the historic trading floor of the NYSE during the Closing Bell and were then treated to a catered reception and dinner inside NYSE hosted by Inspire.
The NYSE Bell
One of the most familiar images and sounds of the NYSE is the loud, iconic ringing of a bell, signaling the opening or closing of the day’s trading. According to NYSE, the bell ringing is the most widely viewed daily news event on Earth, witnessed by as many as 110 million people on dozens of TV channels. NYSE even holds a trademark on the sound of its bell. Before the current brass bell, NYSE traders were called to order by an official who would walk the trading floor bashing a Chinese gong. In 1903, the gong was replaced by a bell that was electrically operated and large enough to resonate throughout the main trading floor.
