Stock index includes only companies most exploitive of their IP
With so much of an organization’s value tied to intangible property, it was only a matter of time before the move to recognizing and exploiting an organization’s IP became the sole critieria for inclusion in an investment portfolio.
RocketCap IP stocks are limited to companies that derive essentially all of their sales through some form of IP monetization. (In the future, there will be prominent portfolios with less strict parameters.) The key is recognition of IP as a value driver in today’s economy, and the value of each portfolio company’s IP is roughly equal to the market value. At least, that is the theory.
Here are the RocketCap IP Stock Index (RCIPSI) firms:
