Aim for higher returns. It all starts with better data on your desktop.
Companies in multiple industries are leveraging new sources of data to deliver better products and services to their clients. In our industry today, we see some of the world’s top money managers using alternative data streams to elevate their investment decisions. We are one of these streams. And the data we deliver is based on an alternative methodology for quantifying risk.
Buy the best. Sell the rest.
We use a Quintile Ranking to score 1231 stocks in Asia and EM. 1st Quintile stocks have the best risk profile. 5th Quintile stocks have the worst risk profile. The changes in a stock’s risk profile—either upgraded to a better risk profile or downgraded to an inferior risk profile—have a significant impact in leading the stock price higher or lower.
Analyzed, evaluated and ranked. Every week.
Find your needle. In our haystack.
You should focus your analytical skills on the most promising opportunities available. We highlight these opportunities across all our datasets. By defining each stock’s absolute level of risk; and by highlighting the upgrades (and downgrades) in a stock’s risk profile on a weekly basis. But of course, if you and your team can further narrow the field, then that should take your performance delivery next level.
Expand your universe. It's a mind-blowing experience.
A skilled money manager with a large universe of stocks to choose from will outperform an equally skilled manager with just a small number of stocks to choose from. So size matters. And this underpins two of our key objectives: (1) expanding your opportunity set. And then (2) ranking all of these stocks from top to bottom. Which brings us to the next point:
Always double-check. Before you pull the trigger.
So all your analysis converges on buying Company X? Great stuff. But before you pull the trigger: check out the company’s risk profile in our Quintile Rankings. And most importantly: is the risk profile of this company improving or deteriorating? If the risk profile is deteriorating, then it’s worth revisiting your analysis. Still convinced it’s a screaming buy? Well, if only from a timing point of view: wait for the stock’s risk score to improve before sending in the BUY order.
Cutting your losses is hard. But not doing so is painful.
When you buy a stock and it goes down in value, right then and there, something has gone very wrong. But still: it’s hard to cut one’s losses. And of course: the stock is now even cheaper than when you bought it. So should I sell or should I hold? We can help you square this circle with an unbiased assessment of a stock’s risk profile and return expectations. As a general rule, our systems will move on from losing positions at speed and with ease.

5 key benefits for users
Don't swim against the tide. You want to avoid that sinking feeling.
Fund manager: “We just focus on finding the very best stocks, wherever they may be. So we don’t bother evaluating the underlying markets.” Code Red: finding winning stocks is already very hard work. But finding winning stocks in a falling market is 5x harder. Bottom line: you generate better returns by selecting your stocks in rising markets. That’s why we recommend pairing our single stock rankings with our country risk scores.
