Our purpose
We exist to help companies, investors and stakeholders gain the maximum benefit from the narrative in corporate reporting focused on future thinking and action.
Our mission
Our mission is to make the market value of listed companies a less risky and more certain proposition through the effective communication of intangible value.
Our vision
Our vision is to provide an effective and valued global service comparing intangible value in the corporate annual reporting of the world's leading companies.
Our clients
Investment firms use our research service to add depth and perspective to corporate governance, socially responsible and other more fundamental sources of investment research information, improving the quality of their decision-making.
Listed companies use our research and advisory services for an external perspective to benchmark how they measure up against peers, competitors, and exemplars, and to optimise the quality of their own corporate reporting.
Corporate communications, design and professional services firms use our research to help them enhance their own services to listed company clients. They also use our advisory service to assist them in developing new business.
Our services
We evaluate the narrative in corporate annual reporting for the quality of strategic thinking, planning, management and action evident. We analyse and score this using a framework outlined in best practice guidance to permit direct comparability against all other companies. The output from our analysis and evaluation is an in-depth 8-page profile and a separate ranking of all companies covered. Access options range from single profile purchase to unlimited library usage - more information.
We also help our clients to extract the maximum knowledge and value from the contents of our research library through specific and bespoke advisory services - more information.

Audit Trail for Asset Managers
The new Stewardship Code puts the onus on asset managers to publicly disclose their policy on how they will discharge their stewardship responsibilities. Strategic Value Analysis offers every asset manager an excellent audit trail to evidence how they monitor investees, as well as giving them this unique comparable source of narrative research.
 
Company of the month - July 2010
It may not yet have quite made the first quartile but Admiral Group has made a huge leap forward this year with a vastly improved narrative that really begins to add some strategic value, increasing from a lowly 3.9 to a more suitable 6.6. Well done, Admiral, this is now more fitting to FTSE100 status.
