The most common detractor from investment success in the share market is often human emotion which can lead to investor bias, attachment, and clouded judgements which impact investment decisions.

The second most common hindrance is the constant deluge of data and news flowing from all parts of the world and the difficulty in separating noise from reality. It is essential to interpret the right pieces of data in ways that will result in profitable investment decisions.

We solve these problems by using technology. The M3 mission is to improve on proven processes, learn from the decades worth of stock market and financial data we have access to, and build the most sophisticated technologies that generate consistent and meaningful investment returns.

Gen is our fundamental screener which updates on an intra-second basis and has been programmed to rank, score and assign a confidence level to every stock in the ASX. It does this based on the set categories of Growth, Valuation and Profitability, which then leads to a multitude of subset categories. Gen uses a combination of algorithms to identify the most undervalued companies in each sector.

Leo is our technical and momentum model which we have programmed to identify exact entry points for our opportunities. Leo functions using an algorithm which interprets on an intra-second basis the price action and volume data of every stock on the ASX. This algorithm incorporates a significant subset of data points to create a technical analysis of our opportunities. Leo then monitors the algorithm output in real time and alerts us the instant an entry point is identified.

Sensus is our sentiment and economic gauge which allows us to monitor sector strength, domestic and global market strength and track data points to predict possible inflexion points in market cycles. Multiple algorithms power Sensus: 72 data points are constantly tracked and interpreted to predict sector outperformance, while 125 data points are used to gauge economic health and predict potential peaks and troughs. Sensus is important in determining cash levels in our portfolios and is essential to our risk management.

Ven is our sell indicator which has been programmed to identify exact exit points for our opportunities. As soon as an opportunity is purchased by M3, Ven begins to monitor that specific stock on an intra-second basis. Ven is powered by an algorithm that utilises the intelligence of Gen and Leo to determine when a stock has become overvalued and/or technically extended. It identifies when to sell and partial-sell an opportunity.
