Model Portfolio: Beating The Market In The Long Run by Bargain Value
Today, we would like to start our model portfolio. We believe, that we can beat the market in the long run with simple quant + fundamental + macroeconomic analysis.
After a few months of acquiring information about the UK market, we believe, that it should be possible to earn about 10%-15% average annual profit (after including all costs).
We have been analyzing the market for the long period of time and have tested a few indicators, which has enabled us to establish the strategy, which should give us an edge over the un-weighted index of all stocks. On this base, we have created our investment system, which is the composit of automatic search algorithm in 90% and manual picking from its results in 10%.
The choice of the companies will be based on three major rules:
- The company must be marked by STRONG FOUNDATIONS, with an accent on the repeatable growth of profits,
- The company must be UNAPRECCIATED by other investors, which means that it is UNDERVALUED,
- The company should be recognised by the large investor recently; we use Relative Strength to establish this fact.
In order to carry out these assumptions, we have chosen a group of finance indicators including: EBIT dynamic and EV/EBIT, which tests we have presented before on our site. Each one of the indicators provide individual edge over the market and help to “cut off” some superb stocks from the big cake, which the LSE is. We will show detailed tests of other ratios on our site in the future.
With prepered system, we have used our search engine to find stocks, which fulfill established requirements. It had returned 14 stocks from which, we have chosen 10 to our model portfolio. We would like to hold no more than 10 stocks, each with equal share. Below, the short description with the current price of each company is presented:
