BIBL: Notable Strategy With Biblical Values At Its Core, Unlikely To Beat IVV, A Hold
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.
BIBL: Biblical Values-Focused Strategy Outperforming In 2026 Has Disadvantages, A Hold
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.
BIBL: Keeping The Faith
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.
