What are the advantages of using a quantitative stock selection model?

Quantitative models utilize a disciplined, consistent approach which capitalizes on breadth.

Breadth – quantitative models allow investors to screen thousands of stocks at one time

Disciplined – quantitative models screen stocks using attributes which can be objectively measured and are not subject to bias

Consistent – quantitative models utilize investment factors which have been proven to consistently outperform over time

Dynamic– quantitative models are dynamic in nature in order to best navigate changing market conditions

What are the investment model inputs for your stock selection screens?

EQM Capital’s stock selection screens are derived from our proprietary multi-factor stock selection models. These models are designed to identify the selection factors that identify Positive Sustainable Change.

The investment models use a blend of dynamic Fundamental and Market Sentiment factors including:

What do the rank scores mean?

Each stock in the market capitalization universe (Micro, Small, Mid, Large) receives a model rank score ranging from 1 (worst) to 100 (best) which reflects the stocks potential, based on how it ranks on these fundamental and market sentiment factors, to outperform other stocks in the universe and generate excess return (alpha).

How do I use the rank scores in my investment process?

There are many ways to utilize the rank scores in your investment process.

Traditional investors can use the stock selection ranks as a quantitative overlay to help them screen their investable universe and identify potential investment opportunities for further traditional research.

Quantitative investors can use the stock selection ranks as inputs into their portfolio optimization process or use them in combination with their own multifactor models. The model ranks can be loaded into any optimizer and used with or without a stand-alone risk model to create optimized portfolios.

Hedge funds can go long the top ranked names in the stock selection universe and short the lowest ranked names. The models have been designed so they are monotonic and the rank order reflects the stocks investment potential compared to other stocks in their respective universe.
