The Slide Rule explained
The UK smaller companies universe is full of excellent investment opportunities, but it is very large (1,500+ stocks) and suffers from limited and inconsistent research coverage.
The finnCap solution - The Slide Rule - is an internally-developed stock picking system, called QVGM+, which is used to find the “best” 80-100 stocks. The system’s core factors are Quality, Value, Growth and Momentum + a screen for financial quality and stress. The typical company in the resultant portfolio is one with above average growth and above average ROCE (return on capital employed).
