"I have to say that ShareMaestro is in the elite
group of products that actually does what it says on
the tin. Its valuations for the FTSE 100 are consistent
and the share valuations are incredibly useful.
In April of this year, the FTSE was trading at
4,096, but the engine valued the market at 5,104, a
25% difference. After six months, the market has
recovered well and the ShareMaestro engine got it
right again.
I also asked ShareMaestro to provide a top 10
and bottom 10 value selection in January of 2009.
As of November, the top 10 value have returned an
average of 58% and the bottom 10 value have
returned 10.6%. The FTSE has returned 14% over the period."

Since 2006 ShareMaestro has selected 15 best-value and worst-value share portfolios. Most of these selections have been published in the financial press. All can be independently verified. Each best-value selection has outperformed the market and each worst-value selection has underperformed the market, often by substantial amounts. The probability of this 100% success rate occurring by chance is less than 1 in 32,000. (1/2^15).
The latest share selections were made for What Really Profits Magazine on 27th May 2011. Six months later (25th November 2011) the results were as follows:
10 Best Value FTSE100 shares
Imperial Tobacco, Royal Dutch Shell, Tesco, BT, Standard Life, Astrazeneca, Legal and General, GKN, BAE, ENRC.
The first 6 outperformed the FTSE100. The portfolio as a whole also outperformed the FTSE100 - a fall of 12.7% compared with a fall of 13.04% in the FTSE100.
10 Worst Value FTSE100 shares
Lonmin, Capital Shopping Centres, Hammerson, Intercontinental Hotels, Antofagasta, Petrofac, John Wood, Tullow Oil, Arm Holdings, Shire.
The first 6 underperformed the FTSE100. The portfolio as a whole underperformed the FTSE100 - a fall of 16.2% compared with a fall of 13.04% in the FTSE100.
