What does "We Empower Investors" Mean?

Across Asset Classes

Obviously, any investor would like to have the highest possible return with the lowest possible risk. These two factors tend to follow each other, meaning higher returns requires accepting a greater risk. Therefore the normal practice today is to establish a risk profile by assigning a fixed percentage of the portfolio to secure assets.

This is not actually a very good idea. If, for example, the stock market is in decline, and the risk profile stipulates a 50% stock portion, maintaining this ratio means holding on to down-trending assets. Logically, it would be better to move your assets to an asset class with a better trend.

Selected Assets frees investors to follow the market strength across asset classes - without the need for constraining risk profiles.

Across Exchanges

Similarly, it would be clever if it was possible to follow the strength across exchanges. Due to the number of exhanges in the world, not to mention the number of assets in each of them, this presents a significant challenge.

To a great degree, investors are subject to the opinions and assessments of analysts who may rely on wildly varying professional skillsets, approaches and information. At the same time, the field is of great importance, both internationally, nationally and even locally. A lot of people have opinions about it and acquiring an overview can be challenging. As an investor or manager one is often forced into a narrow focus, just to avoid being overwhelmed.

Our algorithm can do what people cant, namely analyze the colossal masses of available data in the area. The output from the analysis is actionable signals denoting which assets to include in the portfolio - across both asset classes and exchanges.

Faster And More Precise

Selected Assets’ services support healthy practices in investment. Our passion is to empower investors and managers to achieve the greatest possible return at the lowest possible risk. Following the strength in the market is not a revolutionary idea - but we dispute many of the approaches and rules of thumb which have arisen in the absence of a coherent and accurate overview, replacing them with facts based on real-world data.

We make it possible for investors and managers to to what they already want to do, but faster and with greater precision.

That is what "We Empower Investors" means.
