INSPIRE INVESTING, LLC

INSPIRE INVESTING, LLC offers exchange-traded funds and separately managed accounts that apply biblically-based screens to U.S. large-cap equities and corporate bonds. The Inspire 100 ETF (BIBL) tracks a faith-based index of 100 U.S. companies, while the Inspire Corporate Bond Impact ETF (IBDV) focuses on investment-grade corporate debt. Both strategies exclude companies involved in activities prohibited by the firm's values framework, including alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and pornography (per the firm's prospectus).

The firm uses a proprietary scoring system that evaluates companies on faith-based criteria, including corporate behavior, product involvement, and alignment with biblical stewardship principles. Companies are excluded if they derive revenue from sectors such as adult entertainment, gambling, alcohol, tobacco, or weapons. Conversely, firms with strong positive scores may include those demonstrating ethical leadership or family-friendly practices, as outlined in the firm's index methodology (per public index documentation).

No, INSPIRE INVESTING, LLC is an asset manager registered as an investment adviser. It operates as a limited liability company and is not a family office. The firm does not manage assets for a single family or a group of families, but rather offers investment products to retail and institutional investors through public ETF listings and advisory accounts.

As of December 2024, the combined net asset value of the Inspire 100 ETF (BIBL) and Inspire Corporate Bond Impact ETF (IBDV) was approximately $80 million, based on Morningstar data. This suggests a modest asset base relative to major ETF issuers, consistent with a niche faith-based fund family (per Morningstar, 2024).

The firm's headquarters and specific city are not confirmed in publicly accessible sources. The registered address for SEC filings is listed as a mailing address in the United States, but the firm does not disclose a physical office location on its website or in public filings. This is uncommon among registered investment advisers and may indicate a virtual or small-scale operation.
