MarketGrader Indexes
Global Equity Exposure,
Engineered for Performance
We build global equity indexes designed to harness market returns — and improve on them — through superior company selection. Built for asset and wealth managers seeking scalable, research-powered strategies that outperform traditional benchmarks.
What We Do — And Who We Serve
We build global equity indexes designed to help investors own the world’s best companies—those with strong fundamentals, strong yet sustainable growth, and reasonable valuations.
Each index is powered by MarketGrader’s proprietary stock selection framework, grounded in our 24-variable fundamental rating system. Applied uniformly across global equity markets, this methodology filters for companies with consistent profitability, manageable debt, disciplined capital allocation, and attractive valuations—hallmarks of long-term wealth compounding.
We work with asset managers and wealth management firms seeking a differentiated foundation on which to build public equity solutions. These solutions may take the form of ETFs, SMAs, model portfolios, direct indexing implementations, annuities, or custom index strategies. In each case, MarketGrader delivers a globally consistent, investment-grade index that reflects our core belief: investors shouldn’t have to choose between indexing discipline and superior stock selection.
Our goal is simple: to deliver indexes that outperform traditional benchmarks across full market cycles—not by mimicking exposure, but by elevating it. MarketGrader Indexes aim to harness the market’s long-term return potential while avoiding its weakest links—helping investors build wealth with clarity, conviction, and confidence.
Our Philosophy
Empowering long-term ownership through indexing—done differently
We believe deeply in the power of indexing to drive investor prosperity. But not all indexes are created equal. At MarketGrader, we apply a disciplined, fundamentals-based framework to build indexes that go beyond market replication—focusing instead on the companies that create real economic value and long-term shareholder returns.
Our methodology is grounded in the belief that equities are the most effective engine for wealth creation, and that systematic analysis of company fundamentals—growth, value, profitability, and cash flow—can identify the businesses best positioned to deliver sustainable results. Our mission is to help investors harness the wealth-creating power of global equities—built on the foundations of free enterprise, human ingenuity, and disciplined fundamentals.
How We Build Better Indexes
An objective, data-driven quantitative process that filters the world’s equities down to the very best.
Evaluated daily across global equity markets
MarketGrader’s methodology begins with one of the broadest and deepest global equity research universes in the world: over 41,000 public companies, evaluated daily. Each is scored across 24 quantitative fundamental indicators spanning Growth, Value, Profitability, and Cash Flow. These indicators are intelligently adapted to each company’s size and business model—yet always within the same GARP + Quality framework—allowing us to distill all companies down to a single, globally standardized grade.
