Update January 2020

Please be informed that this strategy (like other value strategies) has under-performed significantly in recent years. While it could rebound there is a reasonable probability that the system is no longer effective. As a result we are no longer trading or following this strategy but may revisit it in 6 months time. The course will be left open since it contains some useful info for strategy development and using P123.

The Marwood Value Model is a quantitative value investing strategy that I developed to find cheap stocks. It is based on 10 simple rules and can be deployed on it’s own or as part of a diversified portfolio of strategies.

Whether you’re an experienced stock market investor or you’re looking to buy stocks for the very first time, this course will show you a hassle-free way to find deep value investments.

The Marwood Value Model is based around 10 key rules for buying and just one rule for selling.

Of course, the rules are not simply plucked out of thin air. They are grounded in the principles of successful value investing and take their cues from successful value investors such as Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, Peter Lynch and others.

The nature of this strategy makes it both highly flexible and easy to use. Entries and exits are made every two weeks, which means this is another stock market strategy that requires very little maintenance.

It is the perfect strategy to combine with another system, such as a trend following system, a growth investing system, or even a simple buy-and-hold approach.
