CEO performance, quantified.
CEORater provides objective, data-driven CEO performance analytics for S&P 500 companies—helping investors identify leadership-driven alpha opportunities.
The CEO gap in the investment due diligence process
Traditional equity analysis focuses almost entirely on companies—their financials, competitive positioning, and market dynamics. However, people are what drive a company's results. CEOs in particular have an outsized influence on the companies they lead. Who the CEO is matters. CEOs affect everything from capital allocation to culture to long-term total shareholder returns.
Despite CEOs' critical importance as an investment decision-making variable, there's been no standardized, quantitative-based offerings to evaluate CEO performance across the market. Until now.
CEORater was built to close that gap. We created a systematic framework to measure CEO effectiveness using objective metrics—Total Stock Return, alpha generation, and compensation efficiency—so that investors can factor CEO quality into their investment due diligence process.
Built by an investor, for investors
Jon is a former Equity Research Analyst with Needham & Company and former Global Head of Corporate Development with Solera Corp, the world's largest Insurtech company. After years of evaluating management teams through qualitative assessments, the lack of rich CEO performance data became impossible to ignore. CEORater is the tool that should have existed—quantified CEO Analytics built for institutional and retail investors, board members, executive recruiters and of course CEOs.
LinkedInTransparent by design
Our three core metrics—CEORaterScore™, AlphaScore, and CompScore—are calculated using publicly available data and clearly documented methodologies. If you wish to understand exactly how we rate a CEO, you may view our methodology.
