The Forbes Investor is focused solely on recommending U.S. equities. The newsletter utilizes a hybrid stock selection methodology that begins with a proprietary quantitative screening process, then employs traditional valuation techniques, including fundamental analysis and discounted cash flow analysis. The emphasis is on finding stocks set to outperform over the next 6 to 18 months regardless of industry or cap size. The newsletter maintains a portfolio of roughly 30 positions across as many as eight sectors, which helps minimize market risk through diversification while still providing enough flexibility to overweight sectors expected to outperform over the near term.
