The SADIF research process is initiated automatically for all companies with financial data for at least three years and traded in organized exchanges. The research is solely derived from a proprietary rating algorithm – StockMarksTM – which uses only public data updated daily. It uses the most comprehensive rating system, combining financial analysis with advanced space-time mathematics in a mix of fundamental and technical analysis. Its methodology is tested and validated regularly for periods longer than six months. Internal back testing uses a methodology adjusted for out-of-bound and survivorship bias. These tests consistently put our accuracy above the market consensus. Regular external testing for USA stocks is also carried out by the BNY ConvergEx’s Jaywalk Independent Research Provider Performance monitoring system.
