For over 35 years, relative strength investing has been a core tenet of Nasdaq Dorsey Wright’s investment philosophy. The firm systematically applies technical analysis, point-and-figure charting, and investment research to break through the noise and identify stocks with positive price movement potential.
Relative Strength is simply the measure of a stock’s price performance versus its peers, and can help identify industry leaders, laggards, and long-term winners. Investing on the basis of relative strength removes emotion from the investment process and provides a consistent investment strategy across market cycles.
Nasdaq Dorsey Wright’s robust suite of offerings include: The Nasdaq Dorsey Wright Research Platform, The Nasdaq Dorsey Wright Indices, and the Nasdaq Dorsey Wright Managed Account Strategies.

The platform provides information that can assist in asset allocation decisions, building and backtesting model portfolios, and monitoring portfolios using technical scores.
