RTGs:
Analyst Selections
Objective
The Analyst Selection folio was designed for investors seeking high capital appreciation potential with volatility and asset turnover generally higher than the overall U.S. equity market.
Strategy
The Analyst Selection folio consists of stocks with the strongest buy ratings from equity analysts covering the respective stocks.
Analysts rate equities on a numerical scale from 1 (strongest buy rating) to 5 (strongest sell rating). In other words, the closer a stock’s rating is to 1, the more strongly analysts recommend buying that stock. Note that markets and economic conditions can change quickly, and well-liked companies can quickly go out of favor.

- We then selected the 30 stocks with the strongest buy rating and therefore, the lowest average score.
- We equally weighted all securities in the folio.
