The Quant system was developed by Steven Cress, who has over 30 years of experience in equity research and quantitative strategies, including running a proprietary trading desk at Morgan Stanley. Each stock is graded daily across Valuation, Growth, Profitability, Momentum, and EPS Revisions, with all grades assigned relative to sector peers rather than on an absolute basis.
Since 2010, backtested Strong Buy-rated stocks have returned 4,386% compared to 528% for the S&P 500. Performance data was independently calculated by S&P Global. The system has not underperformed the S&P 500 on an equal-weighted basis in any calendar year since inception.
Backtesting shows that 98% of dividend cuts could have been avoided by holding stocks graded between A+ and B minus on dividend safety. Conversely, 70% of stocks rated F on dividend safety eventually cut their dividend, and 41% of stocks rated F at the start of January 2023 cut their dividend within the following 12 months.
