What is Biblically Responsible Investing?

Every company in a faith-based portfolio is screened against the Inspire Impact Score before it's ever purchased. Companies tied to abortion, pornography, or human trafficking are removed. What remains is a portfolio built on fair labor practices, ethical leadership, and responsible governance.

This is the same conviction behind biblically responsible investing across the Inspire Advisors network: a well-run, ethically screened company is still a sound investment. Read our full guide, What Is Biblically Responsible Investing?

Matt Daugavietis and Matt Beaver apply this same Inspire Impact Score to every portfolio they build, the same systematic, research-backed standard used across the Inspire Advisors network.

80% of academic studies reviewed by the University of Oxford found a positive link between strong values-based screening and company performance.
88% found that firm performance improved with strong environmental, social, and governance practices.

These findings describe general academic research, not guaranteed outcomes. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and screening does not eliminate investment risk.
