Affinity Education Group (ASX:AFJ) Piotroski F-Score Explanation

The developer of the system is Joseph D. Piotroski is relatively unknown accounting professor who shuns publicity and rarely gives interviews.

He graduated from the University of Illinois with a B.S. in accounting in 1989, received an M.B.A. from Indiana University in 1994. Five years later, in 1999, after earning a Ph.D. in accounting from the University of Michigan, he became an associate professor of accounting at the University of Chicago.

In 2000, he wrote a research paper called "Value Investing: The Use of Historical Financial Statement Information to Separate Winners from Losers" (pdf).

He wanted to see if he can develop a system (using a simple nine-point scoring system) that can increase the returns of a strategy of investing in low price to book (referred to in the paper as high book to market) value companies.

What he found was something that exceeded his most optimistic expectations.

Buying only those companies that scored highest (8 or 9) on his nine-point scale, or F-Score as he called it, over the 20 year period from 1976 to 1996 led to an average out-performance over the market of 13.4%.

Even more impressive were the results of a strategy of investing in the highest F-Score companies (8 or 9) and shorting companies with the lowest F-Score (0 or 1).

Over the same period from 1976 to 1996 (20 years) this strategy led to an average yearly return of 23%, substantially outperforming the average S&P 500 index return of 15.83% over the same period.

Provision of these services includes long day care, before and after school care and occasional care. Its segments include Long day care centers, Outside school-hours care, Family day care, and Occasional care. Long day care centers are set up to primarily offer care to below school age children with working parents. The care can be both full-and-part time.

Vacation care is also considered part of this segment, providing child care services to parents during school holidays.

This type of care can be all day, part time, occasional or outside school hours. Occasional care offers child care services for children on a casual basis. Centers offering occasional services are primarily set up to provide flexibility to parents with irregular working hours or short-term needs. As with family day care, occasional care is a capped program.
