Calgary, Canada, Feb. 27, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (http://www.myprgenie.com) -- Infinnet Corporation, an emerging global financial knowledge company is pleased to announce the launch of its new quantitative investment system SiAlpha, the Science of Investing.(TM)
Important technological developments have often emerged from two or more seemingly unrelated sciences learning and sharing from one another. Advancements resulting in space travel, new drug discovery, the Internet, and wireless communication to name a few have resulted from the merger of multiple scientific disciplines.
Likewise SiAlpha, the company's proprietary Quantitative Value and Momentum Investing system has incorporated knowledge from the fields of physics, mathematics and economics to create an unequivocal investment analysis system.
And now this Science will be shared with individual investors and money managers on SiAlpha.com in the form of risk analysis and trading signals. The company's application of Quantitative Investing represents a technique typically used by only the most sophisticated and technically advanced hedge funds.
"This is pioneering event for investors. We are first to provide individual investors direct access to quantitative investing which till now has been exclusively used by the most successful hedge funds," stated Dr. Hatim Zaghloul, Chairman of the Board.
The SiAlpha system successfully identifies low risk-to-reward opportunities in over 2500 North American publicly listed medium and large cap companies and exchange traded funds (ETFs) including all of the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 and TSX Composite index companies. These opportunities are the result of supply and demand imbalances which are likely to cause short-term price movement in the stock.
The SiAlpha.com website provides investors a free snapshot analysis. On-demand detailed quantitative reports on these companies and ETF's are available for one-time fee or premium paid subscription.
SiAlpha provides a simple positive or negative rating for each company or ETF based on the probability and duration of price movement in the immediate, short and medium-term. Generating a positive signal only when there is a higher than 50% probability of the stock price rising by more than twice the potential downside risk or potential loss.
"We are able to develop a portfolio of companies with uncorrelated risk using the highest positive SiAlpha ranked companies. Therefore constructing an optimal risk adjusted portfolio which can provide relatively high rate of return with lower risk. To us, it is the holy grail of investing!" commented Suhail Ahmad, Founder & CEO.
The company's management has successfully used SiAlpha algorithm to select investments for its own portfolio over the past three years to achieve an outstanding average compounded annual growth rate of 46% during the 2010 to 2012 period and significantly outperforming the market indices.
The company plans to license variations of these services to interested brokerage houses to help them provide a value added service to their clients. SiAlpha system will be available to fund managers to help them manage their portfolio risk and improve their investment performance.
