Anchor Risk Managed Equity Strategies Fund - Institutional Class (ATESX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is ATESX undervalued?

ATESX closed at 15.57 on 16 Oct 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 1.16. Only 0 of the 1 models that produced a value sit above the price. By our models the shares are priced well beyond what the filed earnings, cash flow and book value support; the Sunday Scan drops names like this at the "below fair value" rule.

The average is built from just 1 models (DCF) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.

The nightly engine files ATESX under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.

Quality and financial health

Anchor Risk Managed Equity Strategies Fund - Institutional Class scores only 3 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 3.2/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.

Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -16.5%, ROE -16.5%, ROA -16.2% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.

Anchor Risk Managed Equity Strategies Fund - Institutional Class pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.

Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
