Inspire 100 ETF offers exposure to U.S. large caps that demonstrate alignment with biblical values. The BIBL portfolio shows improved forward EPS growth and a higher concentration of companies with positive EPS revisions yet lacks a clear GARP tilt. BIBL has beaten IVV YTD thanks to the capital rotation in January–February, but its longer-term returns remain soft, and risk metrics like the downside capture ratio welcome a skeptical view.
Inspire 100 ETF is a passively managed vehicle offering exposure to 100 U.S. "biblically aligned large companies." BIBL has been on a tear in 2026, significantly beating IVV, owing to its much larger exposure to cyclicals and no allocation to the communication sector. However, BIBL has a long history of underperformance vs. IVV, with 2020 being its only calendar year since inception when it managed to outmaneuver the S&P 500 ETF.
The Inspire 100 ETF offers investors a socially responsible approach to investing by selecting US large-cap companies that align with biblical values. The BIBL fund uses the Inspire Impact Score® to measure a company's positive influence on people, the planet, and privacy. BIBL provides exposure to the US large-cap equity market at a low expense ratio, but may exclude companies with potential outsized returns.

The fund operates with a distinct focus on aligning investment decisions with biblical values, targeting domestic large capitalization equity securities. It employs the Inspire Impact Score®, an innovative proprietary methodology developed by the fund's index provider, to evaluate potential investments. This scoring system considers a company's adherence to biblical principles and its positive contributions to the world through environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. By committing at least 80% of its total assets to securities that form part of the Inspire 100 Index, the fund aims to create a portfolio that not only fosters financial growth but also promotes moral and ethical standards in the corporate world.
This proprietary selection methodology is at the heart of the fund's investment strategy. The Inspire Impact Score® evaluates a security's alignment with biblical values alongside its environmental, social, and governance contributions. This dual focus allows investors to support companies that not only strive for financial success but also contribute positively to society and adhere to high ethical standards.
The fund channels the majority of its assets into the component securities of the Inspire 100 Index, which is comprised of domestic large capitalization equity securities. These securities are selected based on their Inspire Impact Score®, ensuring that the fund's investments are in companies that lead with strong ESG practices and align with biblical values. This strategy aims to provide investors with the opportunity to participate in the financial markets while staying true to their faith and ethical convictions.
