The AFG ROE Model!

Based on Zacks research which identifies top performing companies through their Return on Equity (ROE) metrics. ROE is a measure of management talent, reflecting asset allocation decisions. Is the company burning cash or creating assets?

The parameters for inclusion are normally:

ROE>10%

Price to Sales Ratio <1

Research Ranking = 1

Average brokerage community ranking = “hold” or better.

The ROE Model tends to be weighted toward small and mid-size companies
