Guiness Atkinson-UK is an active manager which manages a range of no-load mutual funds focused on themes of global transformation for US investors. The firm evaluates quality (past and projected returns on investment), value (current market valuations compared with those derived from a discounted cash flow from existing and future investments), earnings trends (analyzed over the short-term to gauge changes in market attitude about a company's prospects) and price momentum (relative market performance over several quarters) to assess, sort, and select stocks for purchase or sale.
