Our trading principles go beyond screening what you own — they govern how you trade. Nucore enforces ethical trading guardrails at the algorithmic level.
Short-selling involves profiting from a company's decline. Nucore's signals are long-only — we never recommend positions that benefit from business failure or economic harm.
Margin trading introduces interest-bearing debt into your portfolio. All Nucore signals assume 100% equity funding — no leverage, no borrowed capital, no interest obligations.
Options, futures, and other derivatives involve elements of speculation that conflict with principled investing. Nucore operates exclusively in the equity long-only space.
Every position Nucore recommends represents genuine ownership in a real, productive business that passed our ethical screening — not a financial instrument layered on top of it.
Every signal comes with a factor score breakdown. You can inspect exactly why a stock was signaled for purchase or sale — no arbitrary selections.
We invest only in companies whose business activity creates genuine economic value — goods, services, and innovation that benefit society rather than extract from it.
It's easy to say you follow ethical trading principles. It's harder to enforce them algorithmically, at scale, with full auditability. Nucore does both.
Restricting our signal universe to long positions means our returns are directly tied to the success of the businesses we hold. We win when they win — not when they lose. This aligns investor incentives with positive economic outcomes.
Leverage amplifies both gains and losses and introduces interest costs into the equation. Our illustrative 4,433% backtest was achieved with zero leverage — demonstrating that principled constraints don't require abandoning performance ambitions.
