Data verification
Davis analysts are given rigorous training to analyze the data gathered and received.
Analysts are taught to determine whether the data qualifies for use in an index or requires more inquiry.
For qualified data, analysts then apply index methodology to determine whether each data point is relevant to the index and should be utilized in the final calculation of that index.
Every index is reviewed and evaluated by a manager prior to its publication. Market commentaries that accompany industry benchmarks include rationales that explain the index’s movement.
Davis Index’s proprietary indexes and price benchmarks
are used by a complete cross-section of the industry.
