PERSONAL COACHING: How to pick winning stocks

AsiaPacFinance.com serves retail investors globally through premium services such as Research and Seminars. We collaborate with banks and brokerages by providing technical analysis and investor education across asset classes. AsiaPacFinance.com is the first company to invent a stock screener that combines both fundamental and technical analysis.

Investment Education is not a one-size-fits-all mass market product. Investors differ in the following aspects:

> Psychology and Beliefs

> Investment Goals

> Financial knowledge and Investment Experience

> Investment horizons and Asset Class Preferences

> Trading Capital and Holding Power

The trainer: Glenn Ho is a Director at APF Trading, and enjoys looking for undervalued stocks and companies in his free time. He was formerly a corporate finance analyst with Jefferies & Company, a New York- based investment bank, where he was involved in capital raising and M&A activites for listed companies in Southeast Asia.

Students feedback to us they learn most when they have all their questions answered, from the undivided attention of the speaker.

Learning should be at a suitable pace, and trading plans taking background and trading capital into account. Last but not least, there MUST be follow-ups and ongoing support.

We are the only Investment Education provider in the region who delivers such excellent seminars, by limiting class size to small groups of 1-3 persons. Is there a better way to learn?

1. What is Systematic Quantitative Investing? This seminar teaches you our proprietary strategy which uses systematic quantitative investing. We target stocks systematically, with a clear set of rules and criteria. We have a specific time of the year to buy and sell.

We tell you exactly how much to hold of each stock for optimal diversification/returns. As the system uses fundamental analysis, we look for companies that have takeover potential, which usually surge in prices. There is no need for charts, news, analysis or guessing - our strategy is comprehensive and rules-based.

2. What is your stock selection process?

We fundamentally select stocks based on company performance - considering metrics such as Free Cash Flow, Enterprise Value, Earnings, Debt, Dividend Yield, Net assets, Book Value and Share Price. With these metrics we grade every stock and pick out only the best for our portfolio.

3. What is the timeframe of this strategy?

Because the stocks we target are sound businesses with decent dividend yields, we recommend a minimum holding period of one year. This allows the stocks to realize their true value. The portfolio is adjusted just once a year, keeping transaction costs at their minimum.

4. What type of returns are we looking at?

From 2000-2011 (to date), the portfolio has been profitable every year, generating 33% annually on average, with 71% of the trades winners. (Results are indicative of realized profits upon exiting positions.)

With US and Europe witnessing weaker currencies and growth forecasts, we can expect growth and investment in Asia to increase in the coming decade. Private Equity investors and corporate buyers will also turn their attention towards Asia in an effort to boost growth, and our portfolio is in the best position to capitalize on this.

5. How will I benefit?

After the seminar, you will fully understand the logic behind the system, which is fundamental in selection, but systematic in execution. You will understand fundamental investing enough to carry out your own analysis. No worries if you are too busy to follow markets; we actually do the work for you and pick out the stocks which meet the strategy's criteria.You will know how and when to purchase international stocks, building an international Asia-focused portfolio beyond your domestic country. Many of the best stocks are usually found outside your own country - Our strategy has so far picked out companies from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia Korea and Thailand. Last but not least, you will be the privileged few to share the exclusive White Knight Strategy with us.
