Employee Ownership Index Stocks Still Beating Averages

NCEO founder and senior staff member

An index on public companies with more than 10% employee ownership continues to outperform broad market indices. Weighting each company equally (which is how most people would make investments), the index has grown 84% between 1992 and 1995, compared to 59% for the Dow and 52% for the S&P 500. The index is compiled by American Capital Strategies.
