Overall, all of the groupings are outperforming the Toronto Stock Exchange by a comfortable margin.  This is the stated goal of the strategy, “to beat the index.”

TSX 60 Year-To-Date: April 5, 2021

The Toronto Stock Exchange has increased approximately +11.65% year to date. As a group, the Low yield category is crushing the high yield category. The top 5 and top 3 in the low price/book has exceeded the Toronto Stock Exchange by a wide margin.

In our January 3, 2021 posting, we said the following:

“…our personal bias is still with the Low Yield stocks however their performance isn’t as proven as the High P/B stocks..”

The top ten in the high price-to-book has exceeded the Toronto Stock Exchange by nearly double. At the time, we said:

“We’re looking to the High P/B stocks to lead the TSX on the way up and down.  This means, if the market structure breaks down, the High P/B will lose more.  Conversely, if the compressed value component is recognized in the TSX 60 for 2021, then the High P/B stock will be worth your while.”

We don’t understand the underperformance of the top 5, top 3, and 2,3,4 grouping for High price-to-book.

The Toronto Stock Exchange increased approximately +2.17%. The Low P/E category lost the most while the High P/E category gained the most.  Low Yield did not outperform the High Yield group.

In our January 1, 2020 posting, we said the following:

“…preliminary data suggest that the low p/b and high p/e might give your investments an added boost.”

Clearly we were wrong about the Low P/B category which suggests to us that the call on the High P/E category was luck or a fluke and not due to our correct analysis of the data.

Upon further review, the category that seems to show the most consistency is the High P/B.  Although not posting the best gains for 2020, the returns over the years have suggested that High P/B can retain their edge.  The stocks in the High P/B category are as follows:

The Toronto Stock Exchange is a completely different realm from the shares that are traded in the U.S.  However, as we go along, we will attempt to refine the data collection and analysis to better reflect the realities of the Canadian market.
