About VETS Indexes:
VETS Indexes is a leading voice on veteran employment issues,
overseeing the VETS Indexes Employer Awards, hosting the Employing
U.S. Vets Conference, unearthing unique and unprecedented data on
veteran employment through the Veteran Employment Benchmarking
Service, and developing custom indexes, linked to financial
products, that track the performance of the publicly traded
companies that have established themselves as the best employers
for veterans.
The VETSX and VTRNIX indexes were created on the premise that
the companies that make the best use of the highly talented, yet
under-valued, talent pool that veterans represent will ultimately
see a benefit to their bottom lines. The performance of the indexes
has emphatically confirmed that thesis, outpacing the S&P
500.
As the world's first resource for U.S.-veteran-themed indexes,
our mission is to provide innovative solutions that recognize the
value created by the mission-critical mindset, unique skills, and
specialized training that veterans bring to the workplace. Our
mission also includes a commitment to always donate a significant
portion (target of 20% and no less than 5%) of our net profits to
charitable organizations that support veterans and their
families.
