Review: KLSETRACKER

Hurray! Today we finally get around to reviewing this service, which we have been using pretty much since we started analysing Malaysian companies.

This service primarily provides fundamental and stock price information and is extremely useful in many ways. If you are a looking for fundamental information and don’t wish to trawl through company reports, this is a very quick alternative because it displays all the important information on a single page. By conducting a search on the company database, it is possible to pull up individual pages on companies and from the top down you get all the info - a brief description of the company business, share price information, news and corporate actions, analysis of shareholders, summary of latest financial statements and key ratios.

The other great advantage is that you can pull up profit, balance sheet, cash flow and key ratio information separately and it will display the information going back 5 years, which is key for meaningful analysis because it is then possible to identify trends. And finally, another great facility is the ’stock picker’ or filter. With this tool it is possible to search for companies satisfying criteria which you decide, based on a variety of factors which as financial ratios, balance sheet information, yield, accounting KPIs etc. In fact, if you familiarise yourself with all the filters and ratios in there, you will get a good grasp of fundamental analysis so it’s also a great way to improve your own understanding as well.

Therefore we use this service not only to get a good feel for a company, but also as part of our screening process when looking for companies to invest it. For a mere RM360 a year, we think this is a no brainer.

We won’t go on about this service too much now because going forwards we intend to post up mini tutorials to show you how we utilise some of the features on KLSETRACKER in the context of specific techniques for analysing companies. So we would just like to wrap up by recommending that you subscribe if you are a serious investor because of the time it will save.
