Companies must have a female¹ CEO.
- Why?
Women are hugely underrepresented at the CEO position, making up just 6% of CEOs globally. The decisions that these leaders make have a huge impact on a business’ performance while they are at the helm.
Markets don't like female leaders.
Big mistake.
Pink Chip indices measure the performance of women-led companies against global benchmarks. They prove women are better for business, whether markets like it or not.

>$2BN MARKET CAP, US LISTED
Companies must be listed on a US stock exchange and have a minimum market cap of US$ 2 billion.
- Why?
For now, Pink Chip focuses on mid and large-cap companies listed on US exchanges. This is an intentional choice designed to constrain the universe of the index.
03
>8% CAGR OVER 3 YEARS
Companies must have demonstrated revenue growth of at least 8% over the last 3 years.
- Why?
Think of this as a quality control measure. By only including companies that have have demonstrated sustained, impactful growth over a 3 year-window, we can control for the glass cliff effect².
1 Please note that when we speak of “Female”, we are inclusive of all female-identifying people.
2 Research has shown that women are more likely than men to be appointed to boards or positions of leadership in companies experiencing consistently bad performance. This phenomenon is called the glass cliff, and it means women are more likely to be ‘caretaker CEOs’ than their male counterparts. Source: Ryan, M. And Haslam, S. (2005).

FAQ
Why “Pink Chip”?
In the world of finance and trading, investors refer to stocks as "chips" and categorise them based on colour. Blue chips, for example, are stocks of companies that are considered as large, well-known and highly valued companies, while "green chips" refer to companies working in green energy, sustainability or other activities associated with environmentalism.
Pink Chip represents an entirely new financial category in which “pink” refers to the power that women bring to the businesses that they lead.
