The GEO500 is the world’s ~500 geospatial stocks. Pure-play and adjacent. The GEO100 is just the pure-play ones. These portfolios are equal weighted, never trade after positions are established upon IPO or other market entry. I have been building this since 2022. I have many useful segmentations:

Verticals: There are 29. They have a grouping of Data. There are 9 subgroups under this, including 2 data infrastructure stocks have have geospatial relevance. The main message here? Robots. Autonomous systems stocks are killing it.

The entire GEO500 has now been updated with the ownership factor and it has 5 categories: T1 FOC - Tier 1 — Founder Operational Control T2 FGC - Tier 2 — Founder Governance Control

T3 FC - Tier 3 — Family Control T4 IPC - Tier 4 — Institutional / Professional Control T5 NIEC - Tier 5 — Non-Independent / Exogenous Control How do they rank on last decade performance? As the Chief Investment Officer of the GEO500, that is my job to know. 🔮
