Our Factor Dashboard is an interactive website that allows you to look at sector-neutral factor performance from various perspectives. It provides daily updates to factor performance for several market indexes and for each individual sector. The dashboard also shows how factors interact with each other and how correlations amongst factors change over time.

The Portfolio Strategy Chartbook presents the latest performance data (updated daily) for size, style and sector universes to help investors easily see what is driving market performance within their mandate.

Our LEI dashboard allows clients to easily monitor the macroeconomic and market series we deem to be leading economic indicators.

Our Model Dashboard is an interactive tool that allows you to dig deep into our quantitative models. The tool allows you to interactively screen for stocks with specific rankings for a given model, see how stock rankings have changed over time, and understand the underlying reasons behind your stocks’ rankings. Ranking data is updated weekly and model performance is updated daily.

Our Dividend Portal tracks companies that have raised and cut dividends. The portal includes the Ability-to-Sustain screen which identifies stocks that are most at risk of cutting their dividends based on potential inability to cover payments with cash flow.

The “What’s Priced In” dashboard tracks the performance of stocks most/least sensitive to various macro variables (i.e., PMIs, CPI, rates, etc.). It evaluates analysts’ 12-month price targets for those baskets of highly correlated stocks to determine what level is “Priced In” for the macro variables in 12 months.

The Macromentals Suite looks at how correlated stock fundamentals (i.e. margins, earnings or revenues) are to key macro variables. The tools calculate 5-year correlations to over 60 macroeconomic variables (i.e. CPI, PMIs, Rates, Etc.).

The Foreign Sales Barometer identifies stocks with high and low revenue exposure to foreign countries. This barometer allows investors to see how their portfolio’s foreign exposure compares to a chosen benchmark.

The Event Study Suite allows investors to see how markets behaved in historical episodes such as peaks in the ISM, troughs in inflation, Fed pivots, etc. Clients can also see custom analysis by pasting in dates of their choosing to see how markets behaved before and after those dates.

Quantitative Stock Screens

Our stock screens offer frequently updated lists of stock rankings to help navigate various equity investing themes.
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. This model is often thought of in a similar vein to Piotroski’s F-score model for the Value universe. Look to the G-score to highlight potential outperformers and also potential Growth torpedoes.
