Fast Track

Fast Track uses natural language processing (NLP) to make screener creation faster and more intuitive. Instead of adding filters manually, just describe what you want to screen for in plain language and Fast Track will build it out for you.

Here are some example prompts you can try (or use for inspiration):

  • "Screen for mid-cap growth stocks with Revenue Growth above 15%, Earnings Growth above 15%, and a Forward P/E under 25"
  • "Find high-quality stocks with a Return on Invested Capital above 12%, Debt-to-Equity below 0.5, and positive Free Cash Flow."
  • "Show momentum stocks with a 6-Month Price Return above 20% and trading above their 200-Day Moving Average"
  • "Screen for U.S. large-cap ETFs with a 5-Year Total Return above 12% and an Expense Ratio under 0.10%"
  • "Screen for floating rate funds with a 30-Day SEC Yield above 5% and an Effective Duration under 1 year"

 


 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share this screener with a colleague? 

  • Yes, once you save your screener you can select Share in the upper right corner, then select the share group. 

Can I add a specific security to a screener?

  • You can import a list of holdings from a saved watchlist, portfolio, comparison table, etc., into a screener; however, adding individual securities one by one is not possible. Should you identify a security for comparison with your screener results, we recommend saving your screener and heading to our Comp Tables tool, where you'll be able to add these results using the Lists button. This will enable you to incorporate additional securities and metrics for comparison.

How do I screen for historical data?

  • We are not able to screen for historical data, we will only be able to show the most recent 'as of' data.
