What gets measured gets managed. Long-term performance is driven by specific, measurable factors.
Most equity investing today is quantitatively driven. Rather than the traditional view of investors who read annual reports, meet with management, and make informed judgments about a company based on first-hand experience, the overwhelming amount of money is managed by an algorithm or other quantitatively driven process.
For companies to share information that is both reflective of their businesses and useful for investors to make long-term investment decisions, metrics must be quantitative, consistent, assurable, relevant for investors, and widely applicable across countries and sectors.
