Quantitative Stock Screens
Our stock screens offer frequently updated lists of stock rankings to help navigate various equity investing themes.

- F Score
- G Score
- Ability To Sustain
- Market Cycle
- Credit Model
- Accounting Quality

The Model Highlights file allows clients to evaluate their current holdings and/or screen for new names through both a macro and a micro lens. The file includes summary data for three of our most popular tools: 1. Our Macro Select (long model), 2. the Sell Model and 3. our Macro Aware Analysis. Our highest conviction long ideas are stocks that rank well in the Macro Select model (i.e. decile 1,2) that are ALSO negatively correlated to the US PMI. Our highest conviction short ideas are stocks that rank poorly in the Sell Model (i.e. 10s, 9s) that are ALSO positively correlated to the US PMI.

The Macro Select portfolio is a model positioned to include the stocks we determine to have factor characteristics that are best poised to outperform in the prevailing economic backdrop.

The Sell Model targets stocks most at risk of underperforming. It is a sector-neutral ranking system (i.e. sector neutral) with the goal of identifying stocks with the most red flags relative to their peer group. It targets asymmetric risk, which means that it helps to specifically identify underperformers, as opposed to simply flagging the worst-ranked stocks for a long model. The Sell Model has an impressive track record of isolating stocks that perform poorly.

Growth investors can look to the G-Score developed by Partha Mohanram to identify stocks that are high or low quality within the Growth universe.
