About WMA
Founded by Owen Williams, CFA, DBA, in 2011, Williams Market Analytics, LLC offers regular market commentaries, access to actionable proprietary trading and stock allocation models, trading ideas, and segregated managed accounts providing access to our very successful portfolio strategies. Our approach revolves around our quantitative work with our proprietary market indicators, our aggregate valuation metrics to keep sight of long-term, fair market values, and our stock fundamental screening methodology. While we monitor macroeconomic fundamental events, they do not influence our decisions since it is the market’s interpretation of the fundamentals that matters. Markets do not move based on personal opinions, nor do they care about the opinions of large Wall Street firms and strategists. Using a disciplined, systematic approach, we take emotions out of the equation which allows us to provide more consistent returns.
