ERS’s Risk Ratings Can Drive Great Portfolios!
It’s TRUE | Buying low-risk stocks works better than betting on high-risk stocks.

Extensive backtesting of model portfolios using ERS’s proprietary risk ratings demonstrates that these model portfolios consistently beat the market, frequently by large multiples.
This chart shows that a continually rebalanced portfolio strategy selling stocks as risk rises and replacing with lower risk stocks such as one would do with real-life client assets accumulates significantly more wealth over time than using a commonly deployed approach of completely passive US Equity allocations.

The ERS risk ratings, when used in selecting stocks, decrease the probability of investing in losers and increase the probability of winners. The ratings are highly effective and reliable.
In our benchmark studies, the lowest Risk Rated stocks consistently outperform the highest Risk Rated stocks over the following twenty-four and sixty months, as the charts to the right and below illustrate.
The two-year performances depicted in the chart to the right demonstrate on the whole that stocks with lower ERS risk ratings outperform stocks with higher ERS risk ratings.


The five-year performances depicted in the chart to the left demonstrate on the whole that stocks with lower ERS risk ratings outperform stocks with higher ERS risk ratings.
These studies use ERS’s composite ERI ratings to stratify the investment universe to compare high risk to lower risk stocks and their forward performance.
