Focus Value

Seeks to capture equity mispricing opportunities due to market inefficiency, by continuously computing relative valuation of all stocks according to fundamental factors such as earning and sales ratios, cash flow, enterprise value, and debt to equity.
Contrary to buy-and-hold strategies that put investment capital on the same stocks over multi-year period, the model's computer algorithms constantly look for better opportunities to reuse current investment capital to buy undervalued stocks by selling existing overvalued stocks partially or in full. The computer algorithms ensure the same investment capital work harder to participate stock mispricing opportunities.
The model uses proprietary computer algorithms with the goals to maximize gains and minimize risks. With computer algorithms, exposure to risk is actively managed, human emotion and buy-sell bias are eliminated from the equity investing process, unnecessary market timing is avoided, and continuous participation of market is possible for long-term growth.
This is not a diversified portfolio. It typically holds 15 to 20 stocks with an annual portfolio turnover rate of about 600%. Individual stock weightings in the portfolio are calculated based on appreciation potential and may change frequently.
Positions are sold or reduced when stocks become more expensive relative to other stocks based on above valuation factors, and are replaced with stocks of cheaper valuations.
None.
