Summary
Tim Macready of Brightlight joins Richard Cunningham and Luke Roush to unpack the third annual State of Faith-Based Investing in Public Markets report — and the picture is both challenging and deeply encouraging. Faith-based funds averaged 16% returns in 2025 but trailed benchmarks by nearly 2.5%, driven largely by exclusions of Magnificent Seven stocks. The question isn't whether faith-based investing works — it's whether the right frameworks and products are in place to deliver both conviction and performance.
