What is ValuEngine.com?
ValuEngine.com was created to provide the same cutting edge valuation and forecasting tools to the individual investor that the Company has developed for financial professionals throughout the US and Asia. Based on the research and conclusions of Dr. Zhiwu Chen, professor of finance at Yale University's School of Management, the ValuEngine Stock Valuation Model represents the next generation of valuation and forecasting technology. With its own research team working to design and refine practical applications of economic and financial theory, ValuEngine.com is a solid bridge between the academic world and the financial marketplace. Previously accessible only by equity fund managers and other professionals, our proprietary computer models are now available to private investors. They will enhance your ability to evaluate individual stocks, manage your portfolio, and allocate capital for maximum returns. Detailed instructions for the use of these tools are available throughout our site. For more information, please click on our site tour or contact us at support@valuengine.com.

ValuEngine.com uses new financial technology. Does it have a track record?
Yes it does. First, a 14 month real world market test was made by running the Infinity Fund LP hedge fund entirely with the ValuEngine.com valuation and forecasting tools. During this time, the fund consistently outperformed the S&P 500. The ValuEngine Stock Valuation model was also back-tested over a fifteen year period, rigorously using out-of-sample signals. The Valuation Model outperformed the S&P 500 throughout this period. More information on the back-testing methodology is available in the research findings section of our site.

How does ValuEngine.com differ from other financial forecasting sites?
ValuEngine is firmly rooted both in the academic world and in the financial marketplace. This duality of purpose unites theory and practice in a way that is unique to our company, and has been instrumental in our ability to distill practical applications from a significant body of economic and financial research. The result has been new and more effective methods of asset valuation and market forecasting. These in turn have engendered proprietary investment tools such as our Stock Evaluation Model and its benchmark Model Price for individual stocks, stock portfolios and even whole indexes like the S&P 500 and our Portfolio Advisor function and portfolio forecasting service. The full range of advisory and analytical capabilities provided by ValuEngine.com exist nowhere else in the investment advisory service universe.

What is an "investor type"?
Depending on their financial goals, investors have different levels of risk tolerance and varying time frames within which they seek to achieve results. At one end of the spectrum we have the day-trader, who operates in the buying and selling of financial instruments within the same trading day and typically has a strong tolerance for risk, while at the other end we find relatively risk-averse investors managing retirement plans or college funds. The word "type" refers to your personal investment objective more than anything else. Regardless of your risk tolerance, ValuEngine offers you invaluable help in realizing your financial goals.
