NCEO founder and senior staff member

Companies in the Employee Ownership Index (EOI) published by Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP have outperformed FTSE All-Share index companies each year by, on average, 10%. Over successive three-year periods they have outperformed by 41% and over successive five-year periods by 78%.

The EOI, compiled by the firm's equity incentives team, monitors the share price performance of listed companies, comparing the performance of FTSE All-Share companies with companies that are over 10% owned by employees.
