San Jose, Calif., December 2, 2020 — The Inspire 100 ETF (NYSE: BIBL) from biblically responsible investingfirm, Inspire Investing, celebrated three-years of trading on Friday, October30th, 2020. The biblically-aligned fund notched performance numbers slightlyin excess of the benchmark S&P 500, despite having no exposure to thehigh-flying “FAANG stocks”, referring to the mega-cap technology giantsFacebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google, which have delivered outsizedreturns over the past several years.

“Some people were skeptical that a US large cap fundscreened for biblical values could keep pace with the S&P 500, especiallysince our biblical screening excludes the FAANG stocks,” commented RobertNetzly, CEO of Inspire. “While we believe glorifying God by investing withbiblical values is more important than returns, the three-year performance ofBIBL further strengthens our conviction that good values and good returns arenot mutually exclusive.”

 Over the three-year period since inception onOctober 30th, 2017, the Inspire 100 ETF (NYSE: BIBL) deliveredannualized returns of 10.64% on market price and 10.73% on the NAV (net assetvalue), compared to the S&P 500 return of 10.45% over the same time period.The complete standardized returns table comparing multiple time-frames sinceinception is below, for both the three year anniversary and as of the mostrecent quarter end.

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.
