Brightlight Research
Leveraging our extensive experience across different faith integration strategies for aligning portfolios and values in public and private markets, we seek to contribute to the body of research in faith-based investing.
Faith-Based Investing in Public Markets
We publish an annual report into the state of faith-based investment strategies in public markets, covering a range of products available across over 20 different product issuers. This report looks at the range of faith-integration strategies adopted, the breadth of products available, and the performance of the product set.

Corporate Advocacy & Engagement Activities
One of the ways in which Brightlight serves clients is by representing their shares, advocating with companies on behalf of clients to influence for positive change. We publish an annual report summarizing, on an anonymized basis, our efforts over the past year.

Impact Measurement
Brightlight has been closely involved in the development of the Christian Impact Framework, which seeks to articulate categories of impact and approaches to impact measurement for investments made from a faith-forward perspective.
