The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets directly or indirectly in the securities included in the Victory US Small Cap Volatility Weighted BRI Index (the Index), an unmanaged, volatility weighted index created by the Funds Sub‘Advisor. A volatility weighted index assigns percentage values to each security in the index based on the volatility of that security in the market. More volatile stocks have a lower weighting, and less volatile stocks are assigned a higher weighting. The Index combines fundamental criteria with individual security risk control achieved through volatility weighting of individual securities, rather than traditional market‘cap weighting. Such a methodology is sometimes referred to as Smart Beta. The Index follows a proprietary rules-based methodology, developed by the Funds sub‘adviser, to construct its constituent securities. The Index universe begins with the stocks included in the Nasdaq Victory US Small Cap 500 Volatility Weighted Index, a volatility weighted index comprised of the 500 largest U.S. companies with market capitalizations of less than $3 billion with positive earnings in each of the four most recent quarters. The Index then eliminates the companies that do not satisfy the eVALUEator proprietary Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) filtering criteria (Excluded Securities). The Advisor maintains the list of Excluded Securities identified by the eVALUEator system. The Index is reconstituted every April and October (based on information as of the prior month‘end) and is adjusted to limit exposure to any particular sector to 25%. As of March 31, 2021, the Index had a market capitalization range from $ 198 million to $ 4.6 billion. The Fund will not knowingly invest in Excluded Securities. Excluded Securities are securities issued by any company that is involved in the production or wholesale distribution of alcohol, tobacco, or gambling equipment, gambling enterprises, or which is involved, either directly or indirectly, in abortion or pornography, or promoting anti-family entertainment or non‘biblical lifestyles. The Fund also reserves the right to exclude investments, in its best judgement, in other companies whose practices may not fall within the exclusions described above, but can be found offensive to basic, traditional Judeo-Christian values. The Fund generally seeks to track the returns of the Index before fees and expenses by employing a replication strategy that seeks to hold all of the stocks in the Index. A replication strategy means that the Fund seeks to hold all of the securities included in its index, in approximately the percentages represented by the securities in the index.

Goldman Sachs Maintains Buy on Axon Enterprise, Raises Price Target to $700

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated to correct the name of Edward Jones analyst Mona Mahajan. 
President Donald Trump&#8216;s first week in office pushed equities to new highs, with the S&amp;P 500 marking its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42653753/history-may-hint-at-sp-500-struggles-in-2025-yet-there-is-also-hope-heres-why">first record</a> of 2025. Trump&#8217;s focus on four key areas, driven by macroeconomic considerations, included technology, tariffs, the energy sector, and immigration reform.
What Happened: Some highlights from Trump&#8217;s first week included pouring tariff threats and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">$500 billion artificial intelligence project &#8211; Stargate</a>. This drove a rally in tech stocks and among the project beneficiaries.
However, experts <a href="https://www.edwardjones.com/us-en/market-news-insights/guidance-perspective/political-impact-portfolios">at</a> Edward Jones said that investors should remember to &#8220;not play politics with their portfolios.&#8221; The note stated that market forces are more powerful than political forces over the long term. &#8220;What sounds promising during election campaigns often may not work in reality.&#8221;

Goldman Research Indicates Markets Fall After Imposition And Retaliation — Economist Warns &#8216;We Lose When We Punch And We Lose When We&#8217;re Punched&#8217;</a>
While new policy proposals were generally more measured than expected, which pleased markets, Edward Jones anticipates volatility as further updates are released. Here is their view on the list of reforms and which sector and stocks may be impacted by it.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will The Energy Companies Support New Reforms?</h3>
The new administration prioritized energy reform, with Trump fulfilling his &#8220;drill, baby, drill&#8221; promise through executive actions supporting U.S. oil and gas production. These included declaring a national energy emergency to ease fossil-fuel production restrictions, expediting energy infrastructure projects, rolling back climate-change initiatives, and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement.
However, Edward Jones&#8217; analyst Mona Mahajan observed that increasing oil and gas supply would lower energy prices, potentially putting downward pressure on revenue growth and earnings for major energy producers. &#8220;Lower energy and gas prices would, however, be a positive for containing inflation.&#8221;
The exchange-traded fund tracking the sector, iShares US Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYE#NYSE">IYE</a>), dropped 2.46% in the four sessions of the last week. Whereas, Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) slipped 1.64%, Devon Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) fell 2.10%, and TotalEnergies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) declined 0.64%, in the same period, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27014654/Energy-stocks-1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-750335" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27014654/Energy-stocks-1024x576.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27014654/Energy-stocks-300x169.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27014654/Energy-stocks-768x432.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27014654/Energy-stocks-1536x864.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27014654/Energy-stocks.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will Immigration Reform Increase Inflation?</h3>
The executive orders also prioritized immigration reform as key actions included declaring a national emergency, labeling drug cartels as terrorist organizations, and restricting benefits for undocumented immigrants. While mass deportations have not materialized, troop deployments have been enhanced at the border.
Investors will closely monitor any expansion of deportation activity, as this could significantly disrupt labor markets, said the note. &#8220;A smaller labor force could mean not only softer growth in the U.S., but it may also cause employers to pay higher wages to attract workers, which could lead to price increases and renewed inflationary pressure,&#8221; the note added.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">No Concrete Action On Tariffs Yet</h3>
Despite the threats to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, along with 10% on China, starting Feb. 1, no action has been taken. The Trump administration has directed federal agencies to evaluate U.S. trade policy and submit recommendations by April 1.
Tariffs are increasingly likely to target specific sectors and companies and serve as a negotiating leverage rather than a tool for global trade conflicts, the note said. &#8220;The administration is likely more sensitive to enacting tariffs that could increase consumer prices and be inflationary,&#8221; it added.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bets On AI To Drive Technology</h3>
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) are the U.S.-listed beneficiaries of the private-sector-backed project Stargate, announced by Trump last week. He also signed an executive order to make the U.S. the global leader in artificial intelligence, directing agencies to develop policies to ensure dominance in the field.
&#8220;The investments in data centers and electricity are critical for the U.S. to maintain leadership and be a driver for AI technology and applications. The government investment in technology infrastructure, we believe, will pay dividends in the form of enhanced innovation and productivity in the future,&#8221; the note added.
The ETF tracking AI-linked companies, Invesco AI and Next Gen Software ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IGPT#NYSE">IGPT</a>), rose 0.08% in the four sessions of the previous week. While MSFT was up 3.63%, NVDA gained 1.27% and ORCL advanced 6.39%, in the same period, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Despite Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dipping below the $100,000 mark on Monday, prominent cryptocurrency traders remain positioned for upside for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">first quarter of 2025</a>.
What Happened: Widely-followed trader Smiley Capital on X <a href="https://x.com/smileycapital/status/1882817499130998910">disclosed</a> his heavy allocation to crypto since early 2023.

Additionally, the trader rotated more into altcoins, assuming the main altcoin movie is imminent. 
He added that BTC has seen a major move from $15,000 to $108,000, but before a prolonged distribution stage he predicts a final push of 50%-75% from current prices.
The trader has strong conviction in Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) outperforming Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and that outperforming Bitcoin. 
He sees more than $7,000 for Ethereum, with BTC at $120,000-$140,000 and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) at $1.5 to $2.
Smiley also reiterated his confidence in his positions, having entered Bitcoin at $20,000 in January 2023, and expects substantial gains before planning his exit strategies.

What's Next: The trader predicts artificial intelligence to dominate as the best-performing sector, though meme coins might rival it due to higher market caps despite challenges from token dilution.
He predicts a strong market period from February to May, offering lucrative opportunities while a quieter summer with emerging narratives, potential corrections, and attrition in altcoins.

Shares of crypto-linked stocks are trading lower amid weakness in Bitcoin, which has dropped on overall market uncertainty in Monday's session.

On The Dave Ramsey Show, a caller named Kyle shared a confession that sounds pretty hard to believe. In a clip shared to TikTok with the caption, "I hid $26K in Pokémon debt from my wife – now she wants a divorce," Kyle explained how his secret $26,000 spending spree on Pokémon cards and social media schemes went completely off the rails. His wife, pregnant with their fourth child, found out – and filed for divorce. What followed was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42420115/nondisclosure-is-lying-says-dave-ramsey-advising-couples-to-fully-disclose-finances-before-tying-the-knot">deep dive into financial infidelity</a>, broken trust and one very expensive lesson in what not to do with your money … or your marriage.&nbsp;
Kyle explained that his goal was to flip the cards for profit, but that plan fell apart faster than a flimsy Pikachu binder. When Ramsey pressed him for details, the spending wasn't just on Pokémon cards. Kyle also invested money into giveaways and followers to build a social media platform. Ramsey and co-host Jade Warshaw dissected the situation, with Ramsey <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39821566/dave-ramsey-slams-instagram-rich-your-fancy-friends-are-probably-broke">summing it up as a "false front"</a> – an attempt to appear more successful than he was.

</ul>
Warshaw cut straight to the heart of the matter. "Yeah, it's not because of these Pokémon cards," she said. "That was just the final straw." Kyle admitted that his behavior leading up to the debt hadn't been great either – he described himself as "angry" and "not pleasant to be around."
When Ramsey asked what Kyle thought his wife was most upset about, he didn't hesitate. "The deceit. The betrayal," he said, fully owning up to the damage he'd caused. Ramsey didn't sugarcoat it, calling it "financial infidelity." "It's the same part of the brain you damaged," he said, comparing the betrayal to cheating in a relationship.
Kyle shared that he's started counseling, with his wife joining him for the first session. Ramsey and Warshaw both stressed the importance of rebuilding trust. Ramsey even gave him a reading assignment: Dr. Henry Cloud's Trust. He warned Kyle that rebuilding trust isn't just about the big things – it's about being transparent with every decision, no matter how small. "Not even a pack of gum," Ramsey said, driving the point home with an example so mundane it hurt.

Statistics show that financial infidelity affects nearly one in three couples, with 31% of adults admitting to hiding purchases, debts or accounts from their partners. Communication is critical – studies reveal that couples who discuss finances openly are more likely to feel secure and satisfied in their relationships. For situations as severe as Kyle's, seeking financial advice or counseling isn't just helpful; it's necessary. A financial advisor or counselor can provide tools to navigate debt while helping couples rebuild trust – a process Ramsey emphasized would take radical honesty and patience.
As the call wrapped up, Kyle revealed that he's trying to sell the cards but will be lucky to recover $5,000. Ramsey empathized, sharing his story of going bankrupt chasing a get-rich-quick scheme. But he clarified that rebuilding trust takes radical honesty and a lot of time. For Kyle, it's now a matter of whether his wife will give him that chance.

Timothy Plan, the company behind 14 faith-based mutual funds, doubled the size of its biblically responsible investing (BRI) exchange traded funds lineup with the addition of two funds.

<h3>What Happened</h3>

On Monday, the issuer unveiled the Timothy Plan U.S. Small Cap Core ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TPSC#NYSE">TPSC</a>) and the Timothy Plan International ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TPIF#NYSE">TPIF</a>).

&ldquo;To continue our mission of providing Christians with relevant investment products that do not compromise their values, we are excited to again partner with Victory Capital to launch these two additional Timothy Plan ETFs,&rdquo; <a href="https://timothyplan.com/our-etfs/home.php">Timothy Plan founder Art Ally said in a statement</a>. &ldquo;This exciting news will help us to further glorify God by striving for excellence in all that we do.&rdquo;

Victory Capital has its own extensive lineup of ETFs, many <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/why-this-overlooked-dividend-etf-is-sauntering-to-new-highs-2019-10-24">of which focus on high dividend</a> and low volatility strategies. That company has $5.12 billion in ETF assets under management.

<h3>Why It&#39;s Important </h3>

The Timothy Plan U.S. Small Cap Core ETF is designed to be a faith-based alternative to traditional small-cap funds. TPSC tracks a volatility-weighted benchmark issued by Victory Capital that can mitigate some of the turbulence associated with smaller stocks.

&ldquo;A volatility weighted index assigns percentage values to each security in the Index based on the volatility of that security in the market. More volatile stocks have a lower weighting, and less volatile stocks are assigned a higher weighting,&rdquo; <a href="https://timothyplan.com/our-etfs/summary-etf-lcc.php#">according to Timothy Plan</a>.

The Timothy Plan International ETF is the first ex-U.S. ETF in the Timothy Plan lineup. Like its small-cap counterpart, TPIF follows a volatility-weighted benchmark and avoids adult entertainment, alcohol, gambling and tobacco companies.

Both new ETFs rank companies based on the issuer&#39;s eVALUEator proprietary screening criteria.

<h3>What&#39;s Next</h3>

&ldquo;Timothy Plan&#39;s ETF methodology sets its funds apart from the rest,&rdquo; according to the issuer. &ldquo;Strategic beta seeks to capture exposure to certain factors and exploit market inefficiencies in an attempt to deliver specific and/or better risk-adjusted outcomes, while striving to return the benefits of passive investing.&rdquo;

The firm&#39;s first two ETFs, the U.S. Large Cap Core ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TPLC#NYSE">TPLC</a>) and the High Dividend Stock ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TPHD#NYSE">TPHD</a>), have about $175 million in assets combined, but Timothy Plan manages over $1 billion in assets.
