Consulting

We don’t just propose good ideas or spread common practices; we implement corporate policies proven to make a difference to shareowners. To do that requires empirical answers to relevant questions. Our management experience gives us an edge in asking the right questions. Our consulting and academic experience gives us the tools to find the right answers.

Portfolio Enhancement

Our research generates specific indicators that allow investors to reliably differentiate management effectiveness among publicly traded companies. Investments based on our indicators provide significantly higher relative stock price performance over time, uncorrelated with any other metrics or market indicators.

Company Alignment Analysis

Our sophisticated analysis provides a comprehensive picture of executive wealth leverage and compensation structures for individual companies or sectors. Analysts use this information to get behind the numbers in their discussions with managers. Portfolio managers use this information as a key input to their investment decisions.

Seminars

Our seminars combine the benefits of up-to-date research, practical experience, and engaging, interactive exercises to highlight what works in management and governance. We impart innovative techniques for investment professionals to better distinguish effective from ineffective management and governance practices.
