equities.com's Small-Cap Stars is a proprietary research tool based on a list of promising companies in the small-cap space, selected by our institutional-style algorithms. The goal is to identify which fundamental criteria were most important to a stock's success for companies with a market cap of $50 million to $1 billion over the previous 12 month period, and then finds stocks that are in a similar position of anticipated growth today.
Since its inception in 2013, the Small-Cap Stars research portfolio has produced an average annual cumulative gain of over 28%*. Based on back-tested data, the Canadian Small-Cap Stars portfolio is even more promising, producing an average annual cumulative gain of over 32%* over the past two years.
The Small-Cap Stars system is meant for research and informational purposes only, and is not for investment recommendation purposes.
"The Canadian investment markets offers many compelling opportunities for investors, and we felt that it was due time that we broadened our research coverage into this space," said David Bernard, Founder and President of equities.com. "With equities.com's expansion into the Canadian market via the VantageWire.com acquisition, we've solidified our role as the destination platform for the investment community. We are very excited to introduce the Canadian Small-Cap Stars research tool at no cost for our members, and will continue to improve upon the family of research products."
