Many investors are surprised to learn they are profiting from and supporting immoral activities such as abortion, pornography, and human trafficking within their investment portfolios. At Inspire Advisors, we help you invest in some of the most inspiring, positive, biblically-aligned companies in the world without sacrificing return potential.
Excellence in investing is one of our core values. Our team of Ph.D.'s and CFAs build rigorously designed portfolios based on peer-reviewed, academic research to address a wide range of investment objectives. Our proprietary Inspire Impact Score Methodology is trusted by investors around the world to provide a reliable, scientific approach to constructing quality portfolios that support biblical values.
At Inspire Advisors, your portfolio can make a tangible impact in three ways: (1) influencing Wall Street by supporting good companies and selling bad ones; (2) providing a powerful voice to corporate America on behalf of biblical values through Inspire's shareholder engagement efforts; and, (3) through Inspire Investing's Give50 program, which donates 50% or more of their corporate net profits to Christian ministries.
