Does Being Strong Make You A Better Business Leader?

From Victoria's Desk

I love weight training at the gym but could this make me a better business leader? In a fascinating intersection of fitness and finance, entrepreneur Pieter Level has done some research suggesting a link between CEO fitness levels and their companies' financial performance.

Level, known as ‘levision’ on X, has launched a unique Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) featuring companies led by CEOs who use weightlifting or combat sports as their fitness routine. Remarkably, this distinctive ETF has soared, outstripping the S&P 500 by a striking 140% in the last four years.

Somewhat tongue in cheek, Level proposes that a robust workout routine might just be the secret to boosting your bottom line.

Although the Deadlift ETF has shown impressive returns, it's important to acknowledge the multitude of factors that influence its success. Market trends, individual company performance, and broader economic conditions all play critical roles in shaping the performance of any ETF.

BUT maybe it’s worth getting out there and picking up something heavy!
