Methodology

How Is the Opes 15 Portfolio Developed?

Built by Experienced Professionals

Opes 15 was designed by professionals with extensive experience in statistics, quantitative analysis, and equity research.
The strategy was rigorously researched and backtested using market data from January 2, 2001, to March 31, 2020. Performance after March 31, 2020 reflects live, real-world results, which to date have continued to outperform most major benchmarks.
To ensure reliability, we apply professional judgment and strict due diligence to avoid common backtesting pitfalls, including insufficient or biased data, arbitrary selection, statistical overfitting, and result manipulation.

Selection of the Top 15 Ranked Stocks (Equal-Weighted)

The portfolio consists of the 15 highest-ranked stocks, equally weighted to reduce concentration risk.
Candidates are filtered from the 1,000 largest U.S.-listed companies by market capitalization, ensuring a focus on large-cap, established firms. While primarily U.S.-based, the portfolio may occasionally include select Canadian or European firms listed in the U.S.
All selections are published based on independent equity research conducted by Opesway Inc., using objective statistical and financial analysis, without influence from personal judgment, market hype, or promotional bias.
