"Is there a low-risk method, which makes it possible to beat the market and professional managers by a wide margin?"

Yes, there is !

MFIE is a small independent organization that studies several value investing techniques and theories (mechanical stock picking strategies) in order to test and to compare them objectively (mainly on the non-US markets). We are in no relation to the mentioned investors/authors and they are in no way affiliated with this site. We are also totally independent to any financial institution. Our team created different value investing stock screeners that covers the 4 major stock markets nl. USA ,UK , EU (Euro) zone and JAPAN. It is an unique application for screening a market as a whole and it is a perfect tool to use as a bottom-up aid for value-investing.

Or as Graham puts it :

“The death of the bull market is not the bad news everyone believes it to be. Thanks to the decline in stock prices, now is a considerably safer-and –saner time to be building wealth”.

At this stage we have 4 screens that we run on all EU, US and UK stocks. All theories are based on a fundamental analysis approach. The 4 stock screeners are based on the investment principles of Joel Greenblatt’s Magic Formula ,Piotroski’s 9 variables score , Graham’s NCAV Bargains screener , and our own ERP5 screener . All the methods are fully described on our website.

We made a study on European stocks testing our stockscreeners from 13/6/1999 until 13/6/2009 Read more
