Training Tip-ValuEngine Benchmark Portfolio Strategies

Screening for individual equities can often be a difficult task. In order to simplify the process of selecting a portfolio, ValuEngine has created and tracked a variety of investment portfolio strategies which reflect varying investment objectives. Known as benchmark portfolio strategies, these strategies provide an excellent starting point for using ValuEngine's cutting-edge research to select a basket of stocks. ValuEngine Benchmark Portfolio strategies are designed to meet the return needs and risk/return profiles for different styles of investing. These strategies are based on our proprietary valuation, forecast, and rating models and have been extensively researched and tested. They serve as the foundation for all of our work with individual investors, institutional clients, and hedge funds.

Currently on our website, you can find screening tools for four of ValuEngine's Benchmark Portfolio Strategies: the VE Aggressive Growth Portfolio Strategy--formerly known as the "VE Standard," the VE Diversified Growth Portfolio Strategy--formerly know as the "VE Forecast," the VE Income Portfolio Strategy, and the VE Star Portfolio Strategy. To View Current Holdings and Performance Tracking of our VE Benchmark Portfolio Strategies,CLICK HERE These strategies feature stocks selected according to specific criteria designed to meet the overall strategy goals for return and risk. All selections are based on calculations made by ValuEngine's proprietary stock valuation and forecast models as well as additional fundamental datamarket capitalization, e/p ratio, momentum, dividend scheduleswhere applicable, as well as other factors. For this week's training tip, we'll explain the various benchmark portfolio strategies and provide a link so you can apply them to your own investing. THE VE AGGRESSIVE GROWTH STRATEGY The VE Aggressive Growth Benchmark Portfolio Strategy is designed to provide maximum returns. It selects stocks for portfolios based on calculations on stock valuation supplied by ValuEngine's proprietary stock valuation model as well as other fundamental financial data. The VE Valuation Model calculates what a stock should trade at based on its fundamental economic data if the market were completely rational and efficient.Of course--despite the claims of many--the market is not rational nor is it necessarily efficient. If it were, there would never be a bubble or a panicdriven crash. Over time, this strategy is highly successful when run in a market neutral configuration, but it does possess a high degree of volatility. The VE Aggressive Growth Benchmark Portfolio Strategy is based on the proprietary VE Composite Score Ranking system. This ranking system is designed to assess the attractiveness of each of the more than 5000 stocks in our database. The VE Composite Score Ranking system combines the following three factors: stock valuation, price momentum, and earnings/price ratio. Each of these quantitative measurements are ranked on a scale of 1 to 100. The higher the ranking, the more positive the influence each measurement has on the overall attractiveness of the stock. The sum of the three rankings forms the VE Composite Score Ranking. Stocks with the highest scores are selected for the long side of the ValuEngine Aggressive Growth Portfolio. If two or more stocks have the same VE Composite Score Ranking, the VE Valuation Ranking is used as a tiebreaker. No diversity criteria are applied and thus this strategy is free to create a portfolio without sector limits in a

search for maximum total return. This strategy allows better overall gains, but does result in an increase in volatility as the portfolios may be significantly over or underweighted on a sector basis depending on valuation and other calculations at the time of portfolio selection. THE VE DIVERSIFIED GROWTH STRATEGY The VE Diversified Growth Strategy relies on the stock-return forecast calculations of the VE Forecast Model. The ValuEngine Forecast model analyzes stock prices from a different perspective. Unlike the Stock Valuation model--which merely states what a stocks price should be assuming a totally efficient market, the VE Forecast Model predicts what a stocks price will be at a specified future time period given current market conditions. For the VE Diversified Growth portfolios, stocks predicted to provide the highest returns for each sector make up the long picks. By selecting one stock from each sector for the smallest 16 stock portfolio, sector diversity is achieved. This results in lower overall performance when compared to the VE Aggressive Growth Benchmark Portfolio Strategy but provides reduced volatility. THE VE INCOME STRATEGY The VE Income Strategy is designed to provide investors with satisfactory returns, low volatility, low trading costs, and the relative security of large cap stock investing along with the performance boost provided by capturing monthly, quarterly, and annual dividends. For the VE Income portfolios, stocks with the highest dividend yields that will go exdividend for monthly, quarterly, or annual dividends during the next rebalance period are identified to form the preliminary stock basket. Stock selections are further refined by applying the VE Forecast Model one-year return calculations to identify stocks predicted to return more than 4% over the next twelve months. Stocks meeting these criteria with market prices over $5.00 and whose size ranking is greater than 54-@ $1 billion in January 2011are selected for the portfolios. Portfolio size is limited to 20 stocks and fluctuates as market conditions result in higher and lower numbers of stocks that meet the selection criteria. Occasionally over the course of the back test, size dipped below the standard 20 and hit a low of eight stocks in October 2007.

THE VE STAR STRATEGY The VE STAR Benchmark Portfolio Strategy also relies on the calculations of the VE Forecast Model. However, here we once again focus on maximum return and no diversity criteria are applied. When you screen for a portfolio using this strategy, the main criteria is for the stocks to have the highest forecast one-year return. There are no diversity criteria and the strategy is free to overweight or underweight sectors in a search for maximum return. All four Benchmark Portfolio Strategies include additional criteria such as market price, market cap, etc. In this manner, some of the more volatile small caps are removed from consideration as our research program has found that this provides major risk reduction without significant reward penalties. You can always check out the performance of our benchmark portfolio strategies on our website by going to the ValuEngine Portfolios page.
