pRINCIPLES THAT SET VISIONARY COMPANIES APART

A revolutionary set of 5 SEC-approved principles

Our long-term-focused principles are what differentiate the Long-Term Stock Exchange from all other listing or trading venues. They provide the framework for your company to build a set of standards and policies that reflect who you are and how you want to be viewed by the world. Filed with and approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), these principles reflect innovative corporate governance, and drive a long-term focus.

Principle 1: 
Stakeholders

Principle 2: 
Strategy
Long-term focused companies should measure success in years and decades and prioritize long-term decision making.
Principle 3: 
Compensation
Long-term focused companies should align executive compensation and board compensation with long-term performance.
Principle 4: Governance
Boards of directors of long-term focused companies should be engaged in and have explicit oversight of long-term strategy.
