Asset Camp differs from other research services in key ways.
- Asset Class and Portfolio Focused
Asset Camp is focused on investing in asset classes, not trading individual securities. An asset class is a group of securities with similar characteristics. Common stocks are an asset class. Bonds are an asset class.
Most research services focus on selecting individual stocks. While wagering on an individual stock can be fun, trying to outsmart Wall Street’s analysts, traders, and bots is not a prudent way to build lasting wealth.
Asset Camp’s investing framework is grounded in how institutions, such as your college endowment, manage multi-asset class portfolios.
The goal is to gather in one place the critical information you need to make informed portfolio decisions without paying thousands of dollars per year that institutional investors pay.
Asset Camp helps individual investors make smart allocation decisions by providing a best-in-class suite of curated tools and education. Asset Camp helps you decide when and how should you rebalance your retirement portfolio. Such as helping you know whether now is a good time to shift more of your portfolio to U.S. stocks or to non-U.S. stocks.
- Forward-Looking Data from Trusted Index Providers
Asset Camp’s data sources differ from other providers. Rather than infer market-level valuations from ETFs or individual stocks, Asset Camp is built on top-tier index data from MSCI and Bloomberg. That gives you access to the same verified and accurate data used by asset managers and hedge funds, including forward-looking earnings estimates from I/B/E/S.
Most research services lack access to forward-looking index-level data, which is critical for understanding the investing prospects of index funds and ETFs.
Instead, those services are primarily backward-looking.
For example, unlike Asset Camp, most research services geared toward individual investors don’t provide price-to-earnings ratios based on forward earnings estimates. They don’t allow you to see the analyst consensus for what earnings will be over the next three to five years, and how those expectations differ from the long-term average.
- The Right Tools To Empower Your Investing and Help Others
The key to successful investing is not having more data but the right tools and know-how, to be able to separate the signal from the noise.
That’s our aim at Asset Camp: to provide you with the financial market knowledge you need to be as informed as professional investors about asset class investing.
With the investing know-how you derive from Asset Camp, you’ll become a trusted resource for your friends and family to help calm their fears and guide them in setting reasonable expectations for the stock market and other asset classes. You’ll also be in a better position to ask informed questions if you work with a financial advisor.
