Inspire Launches New Biblical ETF at Reduced Fee

At just 0.35% expense ratio, discounted by Inspire from a total expense of 0.61%, the Inspire 100 ETF [NYSE: BIBL] is Inspire’s lowest cost biblical ETF to date.

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 ETF (NYSE: ISMD), and Inspire Corporate Bond 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 seems to resonate with investors 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”.

“It is truly a blessing to see the transformation happen as Christian investors 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.

ETF shares are not redeemable with the issuing fund other than in large Creation Unit aggregations. Instead, investors must buy or sell ETF Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a stockbroker. In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than net asset value when selling. The NAV of the Fund’s shares is calculated each day the national securities exchanges are open for trading as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (the “NAV Calculation Time”). Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not NAV. Market Price returns are based upon the official closing price on the listing exchange (NYSE ARCA) at 4:00 p.m. ET when NAV is normally determined for most Inspire Funds, and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

An active secondary market for the Fund’s shares may not exist. Although the Fund’s shares will be listed on an exchange, subject to notice of issuance, it is possible that an active trading market may not develop or be maintained. There is no guarantee that distributions will be paid.
