Morningstar Launches US Capital Allocation Leaders Index, Providing Exposure to Companies with Exemplary Capital Allocation Practices
Article Summary
HOLD- Morningstar Inc. (NASDAQ: MORN) introduced the Morningstar US Capital Allocation Leaders Index, a research-driven index designed to identify companies whose management teams have been assessed by Morningstar's equity research team as having established a track record of shareholder-friendly capital allocation decisions.
- The index combines Morningstar's independent, forward-looking equity research insights with transparent rules-based methodology and will serve as underlying index for Global X Morningstar Capital Allocations Leaders ETF (CPTL), focusing on mid- and large-cap US companies that receive favorable Morningstar Capital Allocation Rating based on investment efficacy, balance sheet health, and shareholder distributions.
- The CPTL strategy includes companies based on their 'throughput' or how efficiently company management converts capital into superior shareholder returns rather than focusing on output, with history showing investors have rewarded superior capital generators with higher multiples and lower risk premiums.
