SmartGARP®
Profit potential at a reasonable price
While the mechanics of SmartGARP are clever, its purpose is simple: it searches for and pinpoints profit potential in vast and dense terrains.
The combination of our powerful stock screening tool and human intelligence ensures the profit hunt is both efficient and effective
What is SmartGARP?
SmartGARP is a powerful stock screening tool. From a universe of approximately 6,000 global companies, SmartGARP aims to pinpoint companies that are growing faster than the market but trading on lower valuations than the market. These companies should be enjoying strong and consistent upgrades to profits forecasts and be under-owned by investors while also benefiting form helpful macroeconomic trends. In other words, 'growth at a reasonable price' (GARP).
Why does valuation matter?
If two companies are on similar valuations, the company with the faster growth will probably deliver better returns. In a similar fashion, for two companies with similar growth rates the lower-valued stock will probably deliver higher returns. Likewise, a stock with persistent upgrades to profit forecasts would tend to outperform one with persistent downgrades.
What SmartGARP does is simply put all of these insights together, using thousands of data points available on stocks, to help us build a portfolio of companies that tend to be on low valuations with above-market growth and which are experiencing upgrades to their forecasts. Almost by definition they won't be consensus names, but the fundamentals point to them having a good chance of delivering outsized returns.
