About the IBX
Created by Designate in partnership with Morrow Sodali, the Investor Brand Index is a nuanced, independent assessment of a public company’s efforts to communicate with key stakeholders. It also incorporates ESG criteria and empirical financial data reflective of market perception to assess and rank the ASX200.
For the past five years, an equally-weighted portfolio of the top 20 IBX companies has outperformed the S&P/ASX 200 by a ratio of 2:1
