SAN JOSE, Calif. - October 31, 2017 - (Newswire.com)
Inspire Investing launches its lowest-cost biblically responsible exchange traded fund (ETF) today — their fourth in just eight months — building on the success of their previous biblical ETFs and continuing their aggressive effort to advance the biblically responsible investing (BRI) movement.
With an expense ratio of just 0.35%, reduced from the total expense of 0.61%1, the Inspire 100 ETF [NYSE: BIBL] is comprised of the 100 most inspiring, biblically aligned large companies in the United States, as calculated by the Inspire Impact Score methodology, which measures a company’s positive impact on the world. The Inspire 100 ETF requires constituents to have a minimum $20B market cap or higher and be domiciled in the United States. It is market cap weighted, rebalanced annually and meets biblically responsible investing standards, helping Christians align their investments with biblical values.
Raving Fans and Liberal Opposition
Inspire has made global headlines this year with the popularity of their three other biblically responsible investing funds: Inspire Global Hope ETF (NYSE: BLES), Inspire Small Mid Cap Impact ETF (NYSE: ISMD), and Inspire Corporate Bond Impact ETF (NYSE: IBD). In just eight months, Inspire’s biblical ETFs have gained over $100 million in assets, raising eyebrows among the Wall Street establishment and mainstream media alike.
Inspire’s commitment to supporting biblical values such as pro-life, traditional marriage and ending human trafficking with their investment offerings has earned them raving fans across the globe. It has also raised the ire of secular left-wing activists, the company says, who cringe at Inspire’s mission to “inspire transformation for God’s glory throughout the world”.
“There have been some very entertaining headlines as liberal activists rage helplessly from the sidelines while Christian investors around the world shift their money into biblically responsible investments,” comments Robert Netzly, Inspire’s CEO.
Giving Pledge
Inspire also donates 50% or more of the profits they earn from their management fees2 to Christian ministry each year, enhancing the impact that Christian investors can have by transferring their assets into Inspire’s biblically responsible investing ETFs.
“Thanks to our investors we have given money to build a clean water well in Nepal, send Bibles into North Korea, provide relief for Syrian refugees, help those affected by Hurricane Harvey and share the hope of the gospel with thousands,” says Netzly. “As more Christians join the biblically responsible investing movement, we are excited to see the impact we can all have together for God’s glory throughout the world.”
Inspire Investing is a leading biblically responsible investing firm that specializes in low cost, biblically responsible investing ETFs. They are headquartered in the Silicon Valley, 3,000 miles away from the Wall Street establishment. CEO Robert Netzly writes a popular blog at www.inspireinvesting.com where he unleashes biblical truth on the subjects of investing, business and life.

Investment advisory services offered through CWM Advisors, LLC dba Inspire, a registered investment adviser.
1The Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund, until at least March 31, 2018, to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement will not exceed 0.35% of the Fund subject to possible recoupment from the Fund.
2Management fees include all fees from ETF advisory, sub-advisory, separately managed account management and all other sources of management fee income.
Inspire, the adviser, provides the index for the Inspire ETFs to track. The indexes use software that analyzes publicly available data relating to the primary business activities, products and services, philanthropy, legal activities, policies and practices when assigning Inspire Impact Scores to a company. The securities with the highest Inspire Impact Scores are included in the Indexes and are equally weighted. As the Fund may not fully replicate the Index, it is subject to the risk that investment management strategy may not produce the intended results.
The Inspire 100 ETF is new with a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.
Securities in the Index or in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general securities markets or other asset classes. The Fund may focus its investments in securities of a particular industry to the extent the Index does. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not focus in a particular industry. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will cause the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund to fluctuate.
The Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a rebalancing of the Index as addressed in the Index methodology. Tracking error may occur because of imperfect correlation between the Fund’s holdings of portfolio securities and those in the Index. The Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach, if used, could result in its holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.
Before investing, consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.
