Proprietary Macro Approach
Anchor's equity strategy identifies the five most important top-down factors that impact investment performance. The process begins with unique macro-economic models that identify global trends. The research team then identifies economic sector and specific industry rotation. They also determine whether political changes are hindering or helping the free market process. Finally the research team establishes whether there are any external environmental factors influencing their investment decision, such as accounting transparency and market liquidity.
Advanced Quantitative Disciplines
Stocks are ranked based on quantitative models to fully investigate their fundamental value. Anchor managers use a combination of absolute and relative valuation models, earnings quality analysis, dividend discount, discounted cash flow, insider activity, institutional money flow and market rotation models.
