To be in the Richmond Club Index, companies must meet the following criteria:

  - They must be trading at less than 50% of their fair market value,
  - Management must be positioned to add significant value to the company over the next twelve months,
  - The company must have an investor relations program in place.

All companies that are added to the Richmond Club Index automatically drop out of the index after 1.5 years. The reason for this is that after 1.5 years of Richmond Club investor media exposure, most companies no longer meet the criteria of trading at less than 50% of their fair market value.
 

The Index has ranged in performance from -3% to 137% annualized growth since its inception in January of 2005. These companies are showcased to the general public and the Richmond Club’s 612 members, through TV, newspaper, the internet and at Richmond Club member luncheon meetings. Richmond Club members are a mixture of brokers, fund managers and analysts.
