- - Serving a minimum of five individual clients and having a two-year SEC registration period.
They also incorporated evaluations based on asset performance, client satisfaction, advisor expertise, and the breadth of service offerings.

The dedication to nurturing a community of clients who share a vision of flourishing under God’s guidance is central to Inspire Advisors’ philosophy.
