Financial Times

David Stevenson, the 'Adventurous Investor' columnist for the FT and highly successful investor, gave Stockopedia a full page review and glowing endorsement. We highly recommend reading the article he wrote about Stockopedia and the hunt for classic value stocks. His understanding of Value Investing and Stock Picking is second to none having been the author of many books including 'Smarter Stock Picking'.

"...gloriously designed...the individual company pages on Stockopedia are an absolute delight and incredibly easy to read... featuring a huge range of valuation metrics... powerful, professional grade measures..." ...more

Matthew Vincent, the Serious Money columnist for FT Money, also wrote a significant article about the value of Stockopedia in filtering out potential earnings manipulators from Portfolios. We recommend reading his excellent article about Professor Beneish's M-Score that is only published by Stockopedia on this side of the Atlantic.

Shareholders seeking an early warning of when to sell up, and traders aiming to profit from falling prices, can now use an online indicator to spot companies with potentially unreliable earnings.

Daily Mail / thisismoney.co.uk

Simon Lambert, editor of the UK's largest finance website thisismoney.co.uk and contributor to the Daily Mail, published a fantastic article that covered Stockopedia's screening technologies and the possibilities for investors to copy the investment strategies of finance legends. We can't recommend reading this article highly enough - it gives an excellent balanced overview of some of our work.

[Stockopedia] takes the idea of share screening and adds in a cunning twist. Not only can you drill down into individual stocks, but you can also check what shares would fit into the strategies of a whole host of famous and successful investors and build your own portfolio based on this. One of the advantages of using a share screening service like Stockopedia is that it helps throw up companies that you would otherwise not find out about. It also helps investors avoid getting caught in the traps that even the biggest household name dividend shares can lay.

Money Observer

Richard Beddard, Interactive Investor blogging legend and Money Observer portfolio manager, has long run a mechanical investing strategy inspired by the research studies of Joseph Piotroski and Joel Greenblatt. He has transferred the data service that generates the list of his 'Nifty Thrifty' portfolio over to Stockopedia's service having previously used a competitor. This is a tremendous validation of our approach and is written up in detail here.

Rather than retiring the Nifty Thrifty algorithm I’m going to revitalise it by employing a new data service from Stockopedia. Because of my doubts about the calculation, I altered the formula last summer to increase the safety factor by prioritising higher F_Scores, a decision I feel able to reverse now the Nifty Thrifty is using data from Stockopedia.

The Telegraph

Telegraph journalists regularly reference Stockopedia in their articles - such as in this piece by Andrew Oxlade...

This innovative investing website has devised portfolios that adopt the approach of investment gurus such as Warren Buffett. Since it began doing so at the start of 2012, the FTSE 100 has returned 16pc. The Buffett approach, by contrast, has given a 36pc return and the Benjamin Graham method would leave you 41pc better off. Now that’s good value....more
