FACTOR INVESTING SOFTWARE

Factors are more commonly known as investment indicators, investment ratios or investment metrics.

STOCK PORTFOLIO/INDEX/ETF COMPOSITION

The current stock valuation by factor determines the current index/ETF composition.

In our sample case, we chose the Cash Flow per Share factor, which has an excellent Statistical confidence (T-test) of 99.98% and Signal strength (P-value) of 3.53. For this indicator, in the long run, the stocks with the lowest value grow faster than those with the highest value, so it has a decreasing Signal Direction.

The indicator’s lowest values were observed in November in the following stocks: MS, RFJ, CEG, MRNA, and FMC.
