The MarketGrader Team
We’re a small but sharp team of investment professionals with a drive to make transparent, high-quality research available to everyone.
World-Class Data Made Accessible
We’ve united two ends of a wide spectrum: the most thorough, big-data-powered research available and simple to use, easy to share reports.
Our GARP formula is designed to find companies with sustainable growth at reasonable valuations across all global markets.
We believe that consistent creators of economic value, regardless of size and domicile are the best long-term creators of shareholder value.
Whether a stock trades in Sao Paulo or Shenzhen, our methodology allows you to compare companies with confidence.
Our Team
Carlos Diez
CEO & Founder
Carlos saw an opportunity in the late 1990s to combine public companies’ financial statements, available to all investors, with a rigorous analysis designed to identify the stocks with the best growth prospects trading at reasonable prices. In 1999, he founded MarketGrader to harness the Internet, still in its early days as a commercial means of information, to distribute the company’s new ratings to a growing base of individual investors and financial advisors. His original vision was to analyze virtually all publicly traded companies in the world to help investors identify the best creators of long-term shareholder value. In 2003, he expanded this vision by creating a family of indexes whose constituents were selected based on the quality of the companies rather than their market capitalization.
Elias Guerrero
Director of Data & Indexes
Elias loves to make sense of large, heterogeneous data sets; he has been managing and mastering Big Data long before it was embedded into modern management consulting lexicon. At MarketGrader he distills vast data sets that include stock ratings, company fundamentals, securities prices, and rules-based methodologies into a global family of indexes across developed and emerging markets.
Juan Be
Director of Digital Product
Always looking at the bigger picture and connecting the dots across product, design, and marketing. Juan is a true advocate for the solutions and changes that prioritize and improve the user experience of our products while conquering business milestones.
Sabrina Muller
Director of Web Development
Sabrina’s work with MarketGrader.com has resulted in the creation of unique and revolutionary interfaces that translate the company’s powerful research applications into user-friendly web UI’s, benefitting thousands of investors worldwide. Her relationship with the company started in 2000 when she took on the challenging task of developing a web interface for the MarketGrader.com engine, which leveraged the power of the internet to aggregate and analyze vast data sets, and disburse that information to clients in real time. The end result transformed the way equity research was generated and consumed by investors.
