Innovative Leaders Performance Index

Description

The creation of an index exclusively composed of the world's most innovative public companies involves a strategic blend of key financial indicators and innovations metrics. The substantial drivers underpinning this theme include a company's commitment to Research and Development (R&D) reflected in its R&D spend ratio (TTM), which often points to a future-focused outlook and a propensity for innovation. High free cash flow indicates a company's financial health and flexibility and may suggest an ability to invest in new and ambitious projects. Positive Return on Equity (ROE) showcases a company's efficiency in generating profits from its shareholders' investments, while positive revenue growth underscores the company's expanding market share and customer base – critical signs of the durability and scalability of its business model. Potential investable subcategories within this theme could encompass [[Technology and Biotech companies with high R&D spend ratio]], [[Firms with high free cashflow and positive ROE]] and, as a measure of commercial success and recognition, [[Companies demonstrating positive revenue growth]].
