To Beat the Stock Market, Try Investing in Companies That Invest in Workers’ Health

Looking for a healthier investment strategy? A new study by The Health Project (THP) finds that a portfolio of stock in companies that have won the prestigious C. Everett Koop National Health Award — recognizing effective workplace health promotion programs — has significantly outperformed the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index over the past 14 years. Since 2000, investing in Koop Award winners would have produced more than double the returns of the S&P 500, according to the new research led by THP President and CEO Dr. Ron Goetzel. Tune in to this webinar to hear more about this and related studies.
