BOSTON, June 13 /PRNewswire/ — Alpha Vee Solutions (www.alphavee.com) Releases Research Results White Paper on Controlling ETF Stock Selection Risks
“ The effect of fundamental multi factor analysis on risk is demonstrated and some new techniques for performing such analysis are introduced.“

Executive Summary
Stock Selection risk can be defined as the probability that the return of a portfolio composed of individual stocks will be worse from an expected benchmark. Historically, this type of risk has been the most commonly considered risk by investors. Modern investment products, such as multi factor ETF’s that follow the benchmark index, can attempt to neutralize this risk and let the investor concentrate on sector and market risks only (discussed in previous articles in this series).  Despite this trend, there is still a lot to be gained by controlling the stock selection risk. The legendary investor, Benjamin Graham, was quoted as saying: “invest only if you would be comfortable owning a stock even if you had no way of knowing its daily share price.” His statement can be translated in modern terms to advocating fundamental analysis over technical analysis. Indeed, this is the preferable approach by professionals and it is the best method for controlling the stock selection risk. In this research, the effect of fundamental analysis on risk is demonstrated and some new techniques for performing such analysis are reviewed.

Scope
This is the fourth and last article in a series which deals with controlling risks in equity investment with a focus on using Smart Beta ETFs. Over the past 15 years, the Smart Beta ETF industry has grown from nearly null to about half a trillion USD. The first article in the series reviewed four main risk components: Market, Sector, Currency and Stock Selection. The second and third articles reviewed the market and sector risks and how they can be controlled. In this article, we delve deeper into the stock selection risk and show how data driven tools can provide some protection against uncontrolled stock picking.
