Access the link between strong corporate culture and potential equity value.
Research Suggests That Doing the Right Thing Pays.
Harbor Capital has partnered with Irrational Capital to develop a data-driven strategy built on the Human Capital Factor.
What is the Human Capital Factor? It’s a systematic measure of corporate culture that seeks to deeply understand the importance and value created between human capital and potential equity performance. In other words, the Human Capital Factor is based on the premise that happy and motivated employees can generate better outcomes for companies and investors.
The index underlying HAPY takes a socially conscious approach that seeks to access the potential alpha opportunity of strong corporate culture.
