Conviction 10 Stocks 2026: Concentrated Ranking Strategy

A concentrated 10-stock ranking strategy blending quality, value, growth, momentum, and sentiment into one equal-weighted conviction score.

Conviction 10 starts from the NA & Europe universe, then asks which companies combine business quality, reasonable valuation, fundamental growth, price momentum, and improving market expectations. The simulated strategy concentrates into 10 positions, so the ranking is designed as a high-conviction research shortlist rather than a diversified index-style screen.

Universe

This strategy uses the NA & Europe universe and compares stocks across quality, value, growth, momentum, and sentiment. The benchmark is S&P 500 (SPY:USA).

Position Sizing

The simulated portfolio targets 10 long positions at about 10% each and rebalances every week. A 30% buy constraint lets each purchase flex around the target weight, and immediate buyback is disabled.

Ranking Focus

The model gives equal weight to quality, value, growth, momentum, and sentiment, creating a balanced ranking that can surface stocks with several forms of current evidence rather than one dominant style signal.

Sell Rule

Holdings are sold when RankPos is greater than 20, which removes lower-ranking positions while allowing current holdings to remain through modest ranking noise.

Trading Costs

Trades fill at the average of the next high, low, and twice the close, with $0.005 per share commission and no management fee. Variable slippage is included, and the model does not use margin.

Bias Controls

The backtest uses point-in-time data with preliminary fundamentals excluded and historical constituents included. That means each rebalance only sees data that would have been available at the time, reducing look-ahead and survivorship bias.

About these models

These are illustrative backtests, not portfolios to copy. They show how a hypothetical strategy built on the ranking might have behaved after rebalancing rules, trading costs, timing, and position sizing are layered on top. Results are not actual trading returns, not investment advice, and do not guarantee future performance. We validate that each ranking can sort stocks within its universe in a historically useful way, but a good ranking can still lead to better or worse outcomes once it becomes a tradable model.

Conviction 10 is designed as a concentrated research model. It is useful for studying high-ranked multi-factor candidates, but concentration can increase company-specific and factor-cycle risk.

Each stock is scored from 0 to 100 across quality, value, growth, momentum, and sentiment. Higher block scores are better. The final score is the equal-weighted blend of those blocks.

Ranking System

Every stock in the universe is scored 0 to 100 across five equal-weight composites: quality, value, growth, momentum, and sentiment. The block scores roll up into the final Conviction 10 rank.

Conviction 10 FAQ

What is Conviction 10?

Conviction 10 is a concentrated 10-position stock strategy that ranks companies across quality, value, growth, momentum, and sentiment, then uses the highest-ranked names for a simulated weekly-rebalanced portfolio.

How many stocks does the strategy hold?

The simulated strategy targets 10 long positions with 10% static weights. It rebalances every week and disables immediate buyback.

What universe does Conviction 10 use?

The ranking uses the NA & Europe universe, the same base universe used by the other published ranking systems.

How does the sell rule work?

The strategy sells lower-ranking holdings when RankPos is greater than 20. That gives current positions some room to drift while removing names that fall well outside the desired top tier.

Is Conviction 10 financial advice?

No. It is a quantitative research ranking and illustrative backtest, not a personal recommendation or a list of stocks to buy.
