Shareholder Value Index (SVI)
- Quality is a long-term characteristic that provides superior risk-adjusted returns
- EquityCompass measures quality independent of stock price sensitive valuation (i.e., P/E ratio)
- The first component of SVI measures value creation from a company’s growth in sales and changes in operating margins
- The second component measures tangible shareholder benefits from dividend growth, share buyback/issuance, change in long-term debt outstanding, and S&P credit rating
- Rankings are relative to sector peers and measure a three-year period encompassing forecasts for the next 12 months
