Proprietary Research And Investment Models

Garden State Securities, Inc. utilizes several different methodologies for stock selection all driven by our proprietary models. We also offer clients some specific ideas that can be used to create portfolio hedging strategies. We do believe the basic philosophies behind our Smart Money Tracks Model Portfolio, Platinum Technical strategy, and Analyst Sentiment Momentum Model, have each been found to offer investors distinct performance edges in financial markets.

While each strategy involves the purchase of equity securities, they have proven at times to have a low correlation to each other, and the broad market averages. This feature, along with optional practice of portfolio hedging through the use of broad based exchange trades funds (“ETF’s”), provides investors the potential for positive absolute returns during periods of declining equity values (“corrections” or “bear markets”). All these strategies employ their own position sizing and risk management metrics designed to attain the most advantageous risk/reward profiles. Clients may elect to participate in any (or all) strategies with desired weightings based upon their individual investment objectives.
