BLES, ISMD, IBD, WWJD, RISN, GLRY | May 2, 2022

Inspire Investing has announced fee reductions on seven of its biblically responsible, faith-based ESG ETFs

BOISE, Idaho, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspire Investing, the world's largest provider of biblically responsible ESG ETFs, reported fee reductions on seven of its eight exchange traded funds. This reduction in fees is due mostly to the rapid growth that Inspire has achieved and covers a broad range of investment solutions, from global and U.S. equity to fixed income, momentum, and tactical strategies.

The change allows for greater investor return potential as the total annual operating cost of the fund shrinks in relation to asset growth and represents $568K in net savings for investors.1 The firm's current lineup of eight ETFs added $397 million in new assets during 2021.

"God has greatly blessed our work, and as our assets under management have grown over the years, we have passed on those savings to the shareholders of our ETFs," said Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire. "These fee reductions are great news for our investors, as they make our already competitively priced offerings even more attractive to institutions and individuals around the globe seeking to invest in a biblically responsible manner."

1 Estimated savings for the identified funds is the difference between prior and current expense ratios multiplied by the average assets under management (AUM). Average AUM calculation is based on the average of the month-end total fund assets over the 12 months ending 3/31/2022.

2 ESG stands for environmental, social and governance. Environmental criteria considers how a company performs as a steward of nature. Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates. Governance deals with a company's leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.

Each Fund invests its assets in companies with Inspire Impact Score® of zero and higher. As a result of its strategy, the Fund's exclusion of securities of certain issuers for non-financial reasons may cause the Fund to forgo some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these criteria. The value of investments in larger companies may not rise as much as smaller companies, or larger companies may be unable to respond quickly to competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. The Sub-Adviser's judgments about the growth, value, or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact the Fund's performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will cause the net asset value ("NAV") of the Fund and the price of its shares ("Shares") to fluctuate

There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their objective, generate positive returns, or avoid losses. Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. To obtain a prospectus which contains this and other information, visitwww.inspireetf.com.Read it carefully.
