Equity Risk Sciences’ technologies allow institutions to
greatly reduce and avoid losses and maximize profits safely.
Equity Risk Sciences, Inc (ERS) was incorporated in March 2021. However, ERS’s history dates back much further.
Raymond Mullaney, the founder, began investing for his family in 1976 while still in graduate school. In 1982 he incorporated a full-service NASD broker dealer and an SEC registered investment advisor.
In 2013, Mr. Mullaney hired Tom Harpin to begin to employ technology to create “safe” investment strategies. Over the past 9 years, ERS has developed computerized methodologies that result in risk ratings that indicate whether a company’s financial structure and valuation are riskier or “safer”. ERS knows how to define, measure, quantify and rate the strength, durability, and resiliency of a company’s financial condition, and to know when it is weakening. The company mission is to employ technology to automate a process to identify which stocks are risky – either too expensive, or too financially stretched for investors to hold.
Since 2013, ERS has performed numerous back-tests that show that selecting companies with lower Risk Ratings as the sole selection criteria for portfolio construction can create meaningful and consistent outperformance of major US Market indices across a variety of timeframes. Portfolios chosen from higher Risk Rating pools tend to underperform in similar timeframes.
Raymond Mullaney, the company’s founder and president, has over 40 years of professional investing experience. He has published hundreds of investment and financial reports which have been covered nationwide in the media:
