For Investors

Make Informed Decisions
About Your Financial Future

Independent, data-driven analysis of the advisors you trust with your money – reconstructed from the holdings they actually file with the SEC.

Why This Matters to You

If you're retired or approaching retirement, you likely can't afford:

The average investor has no reliable way to evaluate an RIA's track record before hiring them. SEC regulations require RIAs managing $100M+ in equities to disclose their holdings quarterly via Form 13F. This data is public–but difficult to analyze without sophisticated tools.

That's where we come in.

What We Provide

1

Comprehensive RIA Portfolio Analysis

Using actual 13F holdings filed with the SEC, we reconstruct and analyze:

Historical Performance

How did their actual portfolios perform during critical periods?

  • 2008 Financial Crisis
  • 2020 COVID Crash
  • 2022 Bear Market
  • Recent quarters

Risk Metrics Analysis

What risks are embedded in their holdings?

  • Valuation exposure (P/E, P/FCF, P/S ratios)
  • Debt burden (D/R, D/TE ratios)
  • Sector concentration
  • Market cap distribution
  • Economic cycle sensitivity

Portfolio Construction

How are they actually investing?

  • Top 10 holdings concentration
  • Sector allocation
  • Geographic distribution
  • Style analysis (Value, Growth, Quality)

2 Comparative Analysis

Compare multiple RIAs side-by-side to see:

  • Which maintained better downside protection during crashes
  • Which portfolios carried excessive valuation risk
  • Which showed more prudent debt exposure in holdings
  • Which demonstrated better risk-adjusted returns

3 Time-Based Tracking

See how an advisor's portfolio composition changed over time:

  • Did they reduce risk before market downturns?
  • Did they increase high-risk holdings near market peaks?
  • How quickly did they respond to deteriorating conditions?
