Inspire Investing is an investment company based in Meridian, Idaho. The company offers what they call "biblically responsible" investment advice, engages in evangelical shareholder activism, and operates several Exchange-traded funds.[1] Inspire Investing was started by Robert Netzly in 2015,[2] and was originally based in San Benito, California.[3]
As of 2026, Inspire Investing manages more than $4 billion in assets.[4] The company pledges to give 50% of its net profits to Christian ministries.[5]
In September 2024, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission charged Inspire Investing with misleading investors regarding its investment strategy.
