Hi and welcome to Quant Investing!
It is great to have you here.
Quant Investing's Mission
At Quant Investing our only goal is to help you increase your returns. We do this through our easy-to-use stock screener and helpful newsletter services.
Our founder, Tim du Toit, loves investing, so much so that he studied only that (BCom, Bcom Hons, MBA - Finance Indiana University).
To connect with Tim and learn more about his journey, feel free to visit his LinkedIn profile: Tim at LinkedIn
Meet our Founder
Tim started investing in 1987, and at first he made some mistakes, like many of us do. But he learned that research is key to great returns. Since then he has studied every good article, research paper, and book and that has formed the foundation of Quant Investing.
With this website we want to share this knowledge with you. To help you avoid pitfalls and gain from his ongoing research.
Tim did not try to learn about investment on his own. Before starting Quant Investing he spent more than 16 years working in banking and fund management in South Africa and Germany.
Quote from Tim: "Investing has always been my passion. I believe that with the right knowledge and tools, anyone can succeed in the financial markets." - Tim du Toit
The Birth of Quant Investing
After leaving banking and fund management in 2012, Tim could not find a stock screener that met his needs in terms of the number of companies, ratios and indicators to invest his own money so he decided to develop a stock screener and the Quant Investing stock screener was born.
A Team Effort
It began as a small team of just two people, we now have more than eight passionate team members. Even as we grow, our mission stays the same: to help investors like you get better returns.
A Stock Screener by Investors for Investors
The screener is not just something we sell, it is a tool we use every day to invest our own money. It is a screener built by investors for investors.
This makes sure it is continuously refined and updated to meet real investor needs.
Always Learning and Sharing
We are committed to finding and sharing new strategies and ideas. Our blog, which you can read for free at Quant Investing Blog, is full of helpful ideas.
If we find an idea or strategy that works (we test strategies again) we include all the ratios and indicators, you need to implement it in the screener.
You can find a summary of all the best investment strategies we have tested here: Best investment strategies we have tested.
That is why the screener already has over 110 ratios and indicators you can use to find investment ideas.
“When I started using the Quant Investing screener, it saved me a lot of time and work. It’s a perfect tool to combine multiple ratios and get the results with reliable data. I used to spend in several days analysing balance sheets and making the ratios to filter the stocks I wanted. Now it’s done in seconds.”

This 80/20 Small Cap Newsletter Saves You Time and Increases Your Returns
We know not everyone has the time to research companies. That is why we started the Quant Value newsletter.
The newsletter applies the 80/20, or really the 90/10 principle to investing as it includes all our best research and ideas in summarised form.
It gives you 90% of investment returns while spending only 10% of the time you would normally have to.
The newsletter does this with a more than 15 year market beating track record.
“After years of procrastination and being overwhelmed, the Quant Value newsletter gave me the tools to start investing in the stock market. The newsletter, which I eagerly await each month, and regular emails are digestible and educational to the lay person.
The investment ideas are explained concisely, and I usually try to make my purchases (or sales) on the same day of the newsletter. I also appreciate the transparency of the idea recommendation process. I recommended it to a friend today.”

The Best Large Cap Investment Strategy
Subscribers loved the small cap strategy (Quant Value newsletter above) but some had trouble buying the small companies.
Few brokers offered all the companies as a lot had a market value under $100 million in markets like Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
So, in May 2023 we started the Shareholder Yield Letter based on the best large cap investment strategy we found. It recommends companies with the highest Shareholder Yield from a universe of large companies on Steroids.

Long Term Commitment
A customer asked a good question:
“My biggest concern at this time is: An investment strategy must be implemented for the long term. If I base my strategy on the availability of your screener, what do I do should it stop running?”
This is a fair question, and it is something we always ask ourselves with the services we use.
I want to reassure you: I built the screener to invest my own money and use it daily. At 57, I have no plans to retire. I love investing and will keep doing it as long as I can.
My role models, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, have shown that investing can be a lifelong passion. So you can trust that I will keep the screener and newsletter services going, and I look forward to supporting your investment journey for a long time.
More Than Just Products
The screener and the newsletter are not just things we sell. They are tools and strategies that we use ourselves.

What People are Saying About Quant Investing...
"The screener helps me take my investment process to a completely new level. The possibility to export the data for further analysis is a great bonus feature.
I also really appreciate that the screener is constantly developed based on user feedback”
Jussi, Finland
"A while ago I switched to Capital IQ for its extensive data.
However, I soon missed the simplicity and time efficiency of your screener, its four-step system, particularly the ease of filtering columns.
It's clear now how valuable your user-friendly approach is finding great investment ideas."
Sam Hollanders, Belgium
“I just signed up for the Quant Value Newsletter and Screener, had questions about long term investing, backtesting and brokers, the team answered all of them very quick and to the point, the knowledge in investing and generosity in sharing it is amazing.
Long term investing fits my personality better than day trading and honestly I think it is also more profitable.
Looking forward to next newsletter!”
Richard, Sweden
"The Quant Value newsletter revolutionized my investing approach.
Its clear, back-tested strategies excel over vague systems, providing consistent, minimal-trading methods.
My results have notably outperformed the market. The detailed company insights and verification process are invaluable."
Jan - The Netherlands
“The Quant Investing Screener is a huge help in my work as a Registered Investment Advisor.
I have been in the industry for almost twenty-five years, and this is a great tool that I use in my daily work to look at and analyze companies.
I have followed the work of the Magic Formula Investing for a few decades, given the exceptional back-tested results. The screener has this screen, as well as multiple other well regarded factors (along with backtests) to help investors in their analysis of companies.
Whatever your investing style, the Quant Investing Screener can help you in your process.
I wholly recommend this product for investors.”
Stuart, USA
