G-Score - US

Overview

G-Score ranks highly valued stocks according to three sub-factor groups, with an aim to separate out the winning growth/glamour stocks from the rest of the herd.

G-Score helps investors screen for equities that are anticipated to grow at a rate above the average for the market. Investors seeking growth at a reasonable price look for stocks that they believe will deliver above-average growth, but are not expensive.

It is often more fashionable to seek out stocks with high growth rates that are trading at reasonable valuations. Like Warren Buffet famously said:" It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price."

Performance Showcase

G-Score performance is demonstrated by comparing portfolios that are comprised of equities with a specific G-Score. For example, portfolio G0 contains equities that have a G Score of zero (0), portfolio G1 contains equities that have a G-Score of one (1), and so on. Portfolios were rebalanced monthly using a market-cap weighted method, with 20 basis points deducted as costs per transaction.
