About Beligator
We built the research tool we wanted to use.
Researching a stock, an ETF, a fund and a crypto asset used to mean five apps, five rating systems and no way to compare them. Almost none of those ratings told you how they’d actually performed.
Beligator puts everything you might own on one scale, explains every score in plain English, and publishes its own report card every month.
Our mission
Help self-directed investors make better-informed decisions, by scoring everything on one scale and showing our work.
What we stand for
Show our work
Our factors, weights and monthly results are public, including the months we get wrong.
Plain English
If we can’t explain a score in one sentence, it isn’t ready to show you.
Research, not advice
We help you decide what to look at. The decision, and the money, stay yours.
No pay-to-rank
No company can pay to change a score or its place on a board. Any referral relationships are disclosed.
Why “Beligator”?
Think delegator, with the market’s closing bell built in. You delegate the research to us, and we ring the bell when something worth your attention changes.
The gator? Patient, sharp-eyed, and hard to fool. Good qualities in a research tool.
What we’ll never do
Sell your data. Your email and anything you tell us stays with us.
Take money to rank something. Scores can’t be bought.
Hide a bad month. Every month of the track record stays public.
Pretend a score is advice. It’s research to help you decide what to look at.
