Developed by Paul College's Dr. E. Hachemi "Hach" Aliouche, director of the Rosenberg International Franchise Center (RIFC), the RIFC 50 Index is the first stock index to track the financial market performance of the U.S. franchising sector. The index was first published in 2000, and continues to be published quarterly.
RIFC recently released its 2023 first quarter report. The RIFC 50 Index added 4.7 % in market value in the first quarter 2023, signaling a continuation of the recovery of the franchise business sector. The Index has now soared 77.1 % from its March 2020 level when it was heavily hit as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic
