\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On June 19, 2017 Trust Across America published<\/a> its annual Top Ten Most Trustworthy Public Companies, describing its selection methodology and other relevant details.<\/p>\n

Just one day earlier, CNBC’s Michael Santoli announced<\/a> that the S&P had already met its average return for the full year.<\/p>\n

Seven months have passed since June 19, the S&P has continued its advance and America’s Most Trustworthy Companies are outperforming this benchmark by 32.25%. (The S&P 500 has returned 14.54% vs. FACTS(R) 19.23%.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The cynical reader might conclude that Trust Across America’s FACTS(R) Framework “got lucky” with its picks and no correlation exists between high trust and profitability. But a closer analysis of our publicly released “Top 10” over six years will reveal that our systematic selection of the most trustworthy public companies might just be more than good luck.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The simple fact is trust works year-over-year. (And just maybe the percentage of women on boards enhances these stellar returns.)<\/p>\n
