What is ValuEngine.com?
|
|
ValuEngine.com
was created to provide the same cutting edge valuation and forecasting
tools to the individual investor that the Company has developed for
financial professionals throughout the US and Asia. Based on the research
and conclusions of Dr. Zhiwu Chen, professor of finance at Yale University's
School of Management, the ValuEngine Stock Valuation Model represents
the next generation of valuation and forecasting technology. With its
own research team working to design and refine practical applications
of economic and financial theory, ValuEngine.com is a solid bridge between
the academic world and the financial marketplace. Previously accessible
only by equity fund managers and other professionals, our proprietary
computer models are now available to private investors. They will enhance
your ability to evaluate individual stocks, manage your portfolio, and
allocate capital for maximum returns. Detailed instructions for the
use of these tools are available throughout our site. For more information,
please click on our site tour or contact us at
support@valuengine.com.

ValuEngine.com uses new financial technology. Does it have a track record?
|
|
Yes it does. First, a 14 month real world market test was made by running
the Infinity Fund LP hedge fund entirely with the ValuEngine.com valuation
and forecasting tools. During this time, the fund consistently outperformed
the S&P 500. The ValuEngine Stock Valuation model was also back-tested
over a fifteen year period, rigorously using out-of-sample signals.
The Valuation Model outperformed the S&P 500 throughout this period.
More information on the back-testing methodology is available in the
research findings section of our site.

Do I have to be a "value
investor" to benefit from using ValuEngine.com?
|
|
Not at all. The ValuEngine "toolbox" contains valuation and forecasting
techniques that are valuable no matter what kind of investor you may
be, or what drummer you may march to. For example, with our screening
function, we'll help you select stocks that match your risk tolerance
level with the returns you'd like to see. Then, our Portfolio Functions
will help you allocate your capital across the stocks in your portfolio
to help you reach your stated investment objective. Whether you are
a day trader, or are accumulating assets for your retirement, you'll
find what you need to help you reach your goals in your ValuEngine.com
toolbox.

How does ValuEngine.com differ from other financial forecasting sites?
|
|
ValuEngine is firmly rooted both in the academic world and in the financial marketplace.
This duality of purpose unites theory and practice in a way that is
unique to our company, and has been instrumental in our ability to distill
practical applications from a significant body of economic and financial
research. The result has been new and more effective methods of asset
valuation and market forecasting. These in turn have engendered proprietary
investment tools such as our Stock Evaluation Model and its benchmark
Model Price for individual stocks, stock portfolios and even whole indexes
like the S&P 500 and our Portfolio Advisor function and portfolio forecasting
service. The full range of advisory and analytical capabilities provided
by ValuEngine.com exist nowhere else in the investment advisory service
universe.

Who is the principal architect of ValuEngine.com?
|
ValuEngine's proprietary financial models and research efforts were created and
continue to be analyzed by a combination of academics and wall street professionals.
ValuEngine's team continues to test the effectiveness of the models, track performance,
and investigate possibilities to further improve the models. In addition, research to
cover foreign markets such as Tokyo has begun. While no one individual is responsibile
for the entire research project, the combination of academics from Ivy League
institutions and wall street professionals bring together theory and actual practice.
For additional information on the actual academic research that serves as the basis for
ValuEngine's research project, please see the following papers:

What is an "investor type"?
|
|
Depending on their financial goals, investors have different levels of risk tolerance and
varying time frames within which they seek to achieve results.
At one end of the spectrum we have the day-trader, who operates in the buying and selling
of financial instruments within the same trading day and typically
has a strong tolerance for risk, while at the other end we find relatively risk-averse
investors managing retirement plans or college funds. The word "type"
refers to your personal investment objective more than anything else. Regardless of your
risk tolerance, ValuEngine offers you invaluable help in realizing
your financial goals.
