We identify these inspiring businesses of blessing with our revolutionary Inspire Impact Score methodology, which is an objective, rules based scoring system that rates companies based on their alignment with biblical values and the degree to which they operate as blessings to their customers, communities, workforce and the world. Inspire Impact Scores range from -100 to +100, with +100 being the best possible score.

Industry average ETF expense ratio: 0.78%. Source: ETF.com as of 06/23/17 PERFORMANCE IMPACT STUDY: A recent study by Shane Enete, CFA at Biola University s Inspire Research Institute For Biblically Responsible Investing, has shown that applying the Inspire Impact Score methodology to portfolio security selection can actually generate outperformance in a portfolio when compared to the broader, non-inspire Impact Score screened benchmark. This finding adds new data to the debate of what effect values-based screening (Socially Responsible, Biblically Responsible, etc) has on the performance of a portfolio. At Inspire we believe that good values and good returns are not mutually exclusive, and the findings from this study validate that belief. While screening a portfolio does not guarantee favorable returns, this study clearly shows that using the Inspire Impact Score methodology does have the potential to provide outperformance when compared to a non-screened benchmark. BIOLA STUDY RESULTS The results of the study found that the Inspire Impact Score methodology of security selection resulted in an annualized outperformance compared to the non-screened benchmark.
