1. Ready-to-Go Folios
  2. Analyst Upgrades

RTGs:
Analyst Upgrades

Objective

The Analyst Upgrade 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 Upgrade folio is comprised of stocks that have had the greatest improvement in analyst ratings over the past month.

If a company has multiple ratings improvements, it may signify potential opportunities for capital appreciation. Note that markets and economic conditions can change quickly, and well-liked companies can quickly go out of favor.

* Returns reflect unfunded model performance from the Inception Date to the present. Note that the data sources for determining the composition of the folio changed on 11/30/2018, which resulted in changes to the composition of the folio, and that performance after this date may differ from the performance using the prior data source. Your returns may deviate significantly from the values displayed here, due to many factors, including how long after a strategy has been updated that you place orders to update your holdings. No membership or trading fees (other than the indirect cost of the bid-ask spread applicable whenever a transaction is conducted) are included in reported performance.

Note: Tickers and weights for RTG Folios are only available when logged in.

Steps to Create This Folio

  1. We examined buy ratings by equity analysts for the largest 500 securities, ranked by market capitalization as reported by Zacks Investment Research.
  2. We then selected the 30 stocks with the largest analyst rating improvement from the prior month.
  3. We equally weighted all securities in the folio.

If the characteristics of the Folio have changed substantially, the securities included may change. Also, corporate actions, such as a merger, or other events may cause changes to the securities held at any time.
