A new performance metric for investors
After launching the real-time inflation calculator for India earlier this month, Truflation launched the new Deadlift Index that merges fitness, trends, finance, and corporate performance. Inspired by research from digital entrepreneur Pieter Levels, the index highlights an intriguing trend: CEOs who engage in weightlifting, especially deadlifting, tend to outperform their non-lifting counterparts on the S&P 500.
The Deadlift Index provides a unique metric for investors looking beyond conventional financial analysis. By connecting physical fitness with corporate success, this innovative tool offers new ways to assess company performance, challenging traditional evaluation methods.
Customizable indices for modern markets
Truflation’s platform allows investors to create personalized indices, tailoring them to specific investment goals and strategies. Users can build indices that track real-world assets (RWAs), industry sectors, or even personal values like sustainability or innovation. Indices such as the Vegan Index, focusing on companies committed to ethical practices, or the Millennial Index, which tracks firms with forward-thinking leadership, demonstrate the platform’s versatility.
“At Truflation, we’re focused on empowering users with the tools they need to navigate an ever-changing economy. The Deadlift Index, along with our new user-created indices, brings unprecedented freedom and flexibility to financial analysis. By leveraging our decentralized data network and our 65+ global data partners, we’re offering real-time insights on everything from company performance to the value of wine as an investment asset.”
— Stefan Rust, CEO of Truflation
Hedging against inflation
With inflation continuing to impact the global economy, Truflation’s customizable indices offer a valuable solution for investors seeking to protect their portfolios. By creating indices that reflect live market conditions, users can effectively hedge against inflation, minimizing potential losses and capitalizing on emerging trends.
For example, a custom index focused on AI stocks or sustainable energy firms could serve as a hedge against more traditional assets, which might struggle in inflationary periods. Truflation’s real-time data feeds ensure that investors have up-to-date information, enabling more responsive and informed decisions.
