Robert Miller, Managing Principal at Frontier Asset Management

Robert Miller, Managing Principal at Frontier had this to say about the decision, “Frontier Asset Management is excited for a new addition to our Christian Worldview strategies hire list of funds and ETFs. The Inspire Global Hope ETF increases our options of investments in the Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) channel to serve our clients desire for a strategy that is in line with their convictions. It also gives us exposure to both US and International large stocks, which is an asset class we have struggled to find good investments that also pass our Christian Worldview strategy screens. Since the ETF is replicating an index we are more comfortable adding the ETF to our strategies despite the fund being newer with a shorter track record.”

Sawtooth Solutions is a $5 billion dollar money manager that has added 6 of Inspire’s separately managed account strategies to create their biblical investing lineup. Sawtooth is a turnkey asset management platform enabling financial advisors to easily implement their wealth management offering while embedding the pillars of an institutional framework: definable and repeatable investment, sales, and operational processes.

Rich Conley, Executive Vice President at Sawtooth Solutions said “We are very pleased to be working with the team at Inspire and welcome them to the Sawtooth platform as an investment strategist. Inspire sharpens the focus for investors who are seeking an impact consistent with their core values and our goal is to facilitate broad access for wealth advisors wishing to use the Inspire strategies for their practices.”

¹ Inspire, the adviser, provides the index for the Inspire Funds to track.  The indexes use software that analyzes publicly available data relating to the primary business activities, products, and services, philanthropy, legal activities, policies and practices when assigning Inspire Impact Scores to a company.  The securities with the highest Inspire Impact Scores are included in the Indexes and are equally weighted.  As the Fund may not fully replicate the Index, it is subject to the risk that investment management strategy may not produce the intended results.

The Inspire ETFs are new with a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate.  There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their objective, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.

ETF shares are not redeemable with the issuing fund other than in large Creation Unit aggregations.  Instead, investors must buy or sell ETF Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a stockbroker.  In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than net asset value when selling.  The Funds may focus their investments in securities of a particular industry to the extent the Index does.  This may cause the Fund's net asset value to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not focus in a particular industry. 

The Funds are not actively managed and the Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a rebalancing of the Index as addressed in the Index methodology.  Tracking error may occur because of imperfect correlation between the Fund’s holdings of portfolio securities and those in the Index.  The Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach, if used, could result in its holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Index.  To the extent the assets in the Funds are smaller, these risks will be greater.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses.  To obtain a prospectus which contains this and other information, call 877.658.9473, or visit http://www.inspireetf.com.  Read it carefully.  The Inspire ETFs are distributed by Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, Member FINRA/SIPC.
