ValuEngine In The News
Editor's Note: The Following Article Was Posted By Integrity Research
ValueEngine Adds Chinese Research Reports After Deal With Online Broker
Independent quantitative research firm ValuEngine is offering Chinese language stock reports as a result of partnership with online broker SogoTrade.
Melbourne Florida-based ValuEngine produces 12-page PDF reports every day for around 4,100 US stocks using its valuation and forecast models, which are now translated into Chinese.
Sogotrade was launched in 2014 by the former President of Scottrade Hong Kong. ValuEngine set up a subsidiary registered in Hong Kong to distribute its new reports to Chinese institutions and investors.
ValuEngine was founded in 1996 by Zhiwu Chen, a professor at the Yale School of Management, and Chia-Yu Chang. The firm uses fundamental models and momentum models for stock recommendations and has added portfolio construction and tracking products. The target markets are both retail and institutional investor clients.
Our Take
Distribution agreements with online brokers can be a significant source of income for independent research firms, especially quantitative research firms like ValuEngine which offer broad coverage. For ValuEngine the added cost of translation was a worthwhile tradeoff for the Chinese distribution opportunity.

ValuEngineCapital Money Management Services
We are pleased to announce that ValuEngine Capital has begun trading for our clients. ValuEngine Capital, a registered investment advisory firm, offers our clients investment-management services based on industry-leading ValuEngine research. ValuEngine Capital melds the cutting-edge financial theory of ValuEngine's award-winning quantitative independent research with the best real-world Wall St. practices. ValuEngine Capital offers refined investment portfolios for investors of all risk-reward profiles.
ValuEngine Capital is offering three investment strategies to clients, the ValuEngine View Strategy, the ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy, and the ValuEngine Diversified Strategy.
ValuEngine View Strategy: The ValuEngine View Strategy is the product of a sophisticated stock valuation model that was first developed by ValuEngine's academic research team. It utilizes a three factor approach: fundamental variables such as a company's trailing 12-month Earnings-Per-Share (EPS), the analyst consensus estimate of the company's future 12-month EPS, and the 30-year Treasury yield are all used to create a more accurate reflection of a company's fair value. A total of eleven additional firm specific variables are also used. The ValuEngine View portfolio is constructed by integrating both our Aggressive Growth—based on the Valuation Model--and Diversified Growth—based on the Forecast Model-- Portfolio Strategies. The ValuEngine View Strategy is constructed by integrating this model along with some basic rules for market capitalization and industry diversification. The portfolio has 15 stocks and is rebalanced once each month.
Professional Portfolio Management Services
ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy: The ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy is the product of ValuEngine's Forecast Model. This model was developed by a team of PhD's and is based on the cutting edge economic theories of Wall Street professionals and Ivy League academics. We carefully examine dozens of fundamental and technical factors for over 8,000 individual stocks, synthesize the data, and then come up with a sector-diverse list of our best and worst forecast 1-month return stocks. Short and long-term historic factors in the VE Forecast model's calculation include past-valuation levels of the stock and its recent price-momentum factor relative to other stocks. The ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy utilizes Forecast Model outputs along with market capitalization, price, and sector diversification rules to construct a monthly portfolio made up of 16 stocks for both the long and short sides.
Strategies To Suit All Investor Types
The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy: The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy invests in a variety of asset classes in order to provide investors with stable returns and a high- dividend yield coupled with significantly lower risk than single-asset products. The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy may include ETFs focused on commodities, stock indices, REITS, bonds, emerging markets, and other suitable products. By reaping the benefits of diversification, the ValuEngine Diversified Strategy seeks to remain resilient during times of market volatility. The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy is designed for investors seeking management for their IRA and other retirement funds as well as those whose risk-profile is not suitable for our other strategies.
