How does it work?

Alpha Picks covers multiple sectors. This is because the best opportunities rotate between different sectors. For example, we added a home builder stock to the Alpha Picks portfolio in March 2023, and that stock appreciated 100% in the following quarter.

What should you expect
from Alpha Picks?

Our goal is for the Alpha Picks overall portfolio performance to significantly outperform the market. (So far, it’s done just that.)

We expect some of the picks to massively outperform the market, and some to underperform. Winners dominate the performance of the portfolio as they become larger positions.

Alpha Picks should be evaluated on the performance of the entire portfolio, rather than single picks.

Don't be surprised if picks are clustered in a single sector like tech or energy for a while. It could just mean that this sector is experiencing the greatest improvement in fundamentals and forward valuation.

S&P 500

Performance calculated from day of launch July 1, 2022, until August 7, 2024. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Alerts when ratings shift to Sell and when new picks are added

Our Quant team uses proprietary data tools to build a diverse portfolio focused on long-term growth. 

We adjust allocations based on stock momentum and other metrics, limiting individual allocations to 15%.

Stocks are rated ‘Strong Buy,’ ‘Buy’ or ‘Hold’ based on valuation, momentum and profitability relative to their sector. 

We target stocks with positive momentum, which tend to outperform long-term.

We closely monitor allocations to prevent concentration risk. Positions exceeding 15% are reduced to 10%, with proceeds redistributed. 

Stocks are downgraded to ‘Sell’ when necessary to maintain portfolio health.

How does it 
work?

Our Quant team uses proprietary data tools to build a diverse portfolio focused on long-term growth. We adjust allocations based on stock momentum and other metrics, limiting individual allocations to 15%.

Alpha Picks takes into account company fundamentals, valuation, momentum, growth, and profitability. Stocks with upward momentum tend to outperform over longer periods.

Stocks are rated ‘Strong Buy,’ ‘Buy’ or ‘Hold’ based on valuation, momentum and profitability relative to their sector. 

We target stocks with positive momentum, which tend to outperform long-term.

When a stock no longer scores well on fundamentals, valuation, and momentum (relative to the sector), it becomes a ‘Sell’ and is removed from the portfolio or if the stock is a Hold for more than 180 days will be sold.

We closely monitor allocations to prevent concentration risk. Positions exceeding 15% are reduced to 10%, with proceeds redistributed. 

Stocks are downgraded to ‘Sell’ when necessary to maintain portfolio health.
