Values-based investing without compromise
At Archalos, we believe that good character, sound culture, and strong values are the foundation of a successful company and therefore are a strategic asset for investing. This means investors can invest in companies that support their values without conceding returns on that investment.

We have developed a research-backed, innovative approach that measures those qualities by analyzing vast amounts of data.

The $8.9 Trillion Cost of Disengagement
Key Metric
9% of GDP
Global GDP Loss Due to Low Employee Engagement
The Research
Is low morale just an HR issue, or a macroeconomic crisis? Gallup's *State of the Global Workplace* report puts a price tag on disengagement: **$8.9 trillion**. This represents approximately **9% of global GDP**. The report highlights that disengaged employees are not just "unhappy"; they are actively unproductive, creating a massive drag on economic output. For a singular company, this macroeconomic statistic translates into a "Productivity Tax" that eats away at margins before they can even be booked.
Key Finding
Low engagement costs the global economy $8.9 trillion annually (9% of GDP).
The Archalos Thesis
We view the macro-economy as a collection of micro-cultures. If the global average cost of disengagement is 9% of GDP, then a company with high engagement is effectively receiving a **9% subsidy** relative to its peers. We invest in high-engagement firms because they are not paying this hidden tax. They are capturing the productivity that their competitors are losing to friction and apathy.
