Public Markets Increase KGI

The Kaulkin Ginsberg Index (KGI), the leading indicator of economic conditions affecting the accounts receivable management (ARM) industry, increased 1% to 1472.5, only slightly below its all-time high. The index?s movement can be attributed to a substantial increase in the total market capitalization of public ARM companies. The KGI remains up 13.0% year over year.

?Increases in the public markets brought the Index back near its all-time high,? said Andrew Beatty, Research Associate with Kaulkin Ginsberg. ?The Index should continue to gradually increase until after the completion of the NCO Group buyout when the Index will decline as the total market capitalization of public ARM companies decreases substantially.?

The KGI is a product of Kaulkin Ginsberg’s Research Group, which provides industry-specific publications and custom research services to the ARM industry.
