INVEST: The HIP 100 Index (TM) and
HIP 30 Index (TM) now available


The HIP Index is here!   With our team of expert analysts, we evaluated the S&P 100 firms and created a HIP Portfolio  re-weighted based on the HIP fundamentals of Health, Wealth, Earth, Equality and Trust - which are quantifiable, objective comparisons that drive profit and shareholder value. 

COMPARE: Does the HIP 100 Index (TM) Outpeform the S&P 100?

The HIP Index is available for licensing to investors, financial advisors, and mutual funds or ETFs.  

Ask your  bank, advisor or financial provider for a portfolio that uses a HIP Index.  We can customize them to your desired impact in environmental, social or human impact.

Contact Jessica@HIPinvestor.com  to learn how your portfolio can be more HIP.
