Usage Tips

How reliable are analysis ratings for manager selection evaluations?
Manager selection analysis faces several inherent challenges: past performance does not guarantee future results, and performance data is susceptible to survivorship bias and backfill bias. Quantitative analysis can effectively identify a manager's style characteristics, risk exposures, and the impact of fees on returns, but has limited predictive power for a manager's future ability to generate alpha. The most reliable evaluations often come from qualitative analysis of the investment process—understanding how managers generate investment ideas, construct portfolios, and manage risk. Investors should combine quantitative ratings with in-depth qualitative research and maintain healthy skepticism about performance persistence.

Getting started

Does this prompt give investment advice or buy/sell calls?
No. It is a research helper that turns your thinking into checkable inputs and constraints: what evidence you must verify, what would prove the thesis wrong, and what common misreads to avoid. Treat the output as a draft, not a signal. Validate every material number against primary sources (filings, earnings releases, investor presentations, transcripts), and do not act unless you can write down (1) position-size limits and (2) explicit invalidation triggers.
What inputs should I provide for a reliable result?
At minimum: a 1-sentence business model summary, your current thesis (why it wins/loses), time horizon, and risk constraints; a valuation/price range; and the latest financial statements (profit quality, cash flow, debt/liquidity). Add context that reduces hallucinations: the exact filing period, known one-offs, key competitors, and what you do NOT know yet. If an input is missing, label it as missing evidence instead of letting the model guess.

Validation and boundaries

How do I validate the output?
Validate falsifiable claims one by one. Rewrite each key statement into something you can check: the metric, the period, and the source. Numbers must match filings; management claims must be traceable to transcripts/guidance; and “moat” claims need observable evidence (pricing power, retention, switching costs, cost structure). Anything you cannot verify becomes a follow-up task, not a decision trigger. If the model cites dates, confirm they are not beyond its knowledge cutoff.
When should I NOT act on the output?
If you cannot write down invalidation triggers, a position-size cap, or primary-source evidence for the key claims behind “La Sélection des Gérants Compte”, do not act. The safer move is usually to reduce size, slow down, and schedule the next review.
