The beauty of quantitative analysis lies in its structured, computer-driven framework, which gives it the ability to produce research that is independent and completely unbiased.
Quantify the Fundamentals
By quantifying the vast amounts of fundamental data available on publicly traded stocks, we can offer a cost-effective analysis of thousands of stocks, rather than hundreds, while still taking into account such qualitative factors as changes in analyst opinions, consensus EPS estimates, and insider trading.
Flavor With Technicals
Quant does NOT mean technical analysis, but our brand of quant is supplemented when appropriate with momentum or technical factors. For example, some of our filters take into account price patterns, stock performance, and some chart-base metrics, but always in conjunction with our fundamental base.
Screen for "Growth at a Reasonable Price"
Quant can shine the spotlight on companies with good growth potential that are attractively priced. "Attractively priced" is the key, because many companies with great growth prospects are already fully priced or even overpriced. But our quantitative methodology filters for the reverse.
We screen for great growth companies where the growth is not adequately reflected in the price --
growth at a reasonable price or GARP. Our shorter term strategies seek indications that a price "catch-up" is imminent. Which is why our research consistently outperforms the market.
The Result
Because we don't rely on the opinions of individal analysts, our quant analysis is free of possible hidden agendas or conflicts of interest. And because we don't manage money and are not paid for our opinions by the companies we analyze, we can proudly state that our rankings and ratings are completely independent and without bias.
