The Site has a focus on both Canadian and American Stocks and investors.
It must be understood that no amount of education or experience can eliminate risks in the market. Investors always invest at their own risk. However, it is a fact that the chief editor of this Site has a combination of professional education designations that is extremely high. He has no traditional “securities industry” experience but has operated this Web Site since June of 1999.
Shawn Allen is a CFA Charter holder (Chartered Financial Analyst – which is the top educational designation in the securities analysis industry) is a licensed professional engineer, has a professional accounting designation (CMA – Certified Management Accountant), has a Masters degree in Business Administration, and has completed the Canadian Securities Course (Honors). The editor also has many years of active business experience. Perhaps most importantly, he also has a superior track record of stock picking and in his personal investments as detailed in our Performance page.
Other Contributors to InvestorsFriend:
As of 2019, Zach Trease has partnered with InvestorsFriend as a contributor.
Zach is a recent engineering graduate of the University of Alberta. Zach is also a passionate self-taught investor and investment analyst who has been writing about and sharing his investment analysis for the past 3 years.
Over the years, I have been extremely cautious about including any outside content on InvestorsFriend. I would only ever have anyone else contribute if I was confident that they were following a logical and sound fundamental approach to investing and, perhaps even more importantly, I was very confident in their honesty and integrity.
I have known Zach since early 2018 and I have developed that confidence.
Like me, Zach follows a fundamentals-based approach. He thoroughly analyses the numbers but also puts a heavy weight on non-numerical considerations. He has had great success in identifying great companies that are selling at bargain or at least reasonable prices.
Zach’s contributions are now posted on our web site at the following link: https://www.investorsfriend.com/zachs-research/
