Trustworthy Companies Offer Superior Investment Returns With Less Risk
2 years ago

Hi and thanks for your comment. We are looking at most trustworthy not most trusted. Big difference! The first is an internal measure while the second is external perception.  It's unusual for our annual "Top 10" to ever include any of the big banks or big pharma. Keep in mind that industry is not destiny. Banks come in all shapes and sizes from community banks to JP Morgan Chase and everything in between.

Trustworthy Companies Offer Superior Investment Returns With Less Risk

Great questions folks. Keep in mind that no company is perfect. However, the most trustworthy have less risk for investors and they tend NOT to blow up like Enron or Wells Fargo. We only focus on the "good guys" so you will not see reports from us on the bad actors.  As far as how we define "trustworthy" it's included in the artilce. Keep the questions coming!

Great question Mike. Our FACTS Framework measures the trustworthiness of public companies based on 5 quantitative indicators of trustworthy business behavior. We are not measuring trust, reputation or customer loyalty. Also, please keep in mind that no company is perfect. As indicated below, less than 50 companies scored above a 70 in 2013. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Barbara

Susan- yes, if only more were! In 2013 less than 50 public companies scored above a 70 (on a 100 scale) in our FACTS Framework. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Barbara
