Who We Are

”Suppose there had been no Adam Smith. Ultimately the final stage would certainly have been the Objective Economics of Verne Atrill.”

– Dr. Warren Blackman, University of Calgary

SAC was founded in 1978 as an economic research institute by physicist and economist, Dr. Verne Atrill.

Dr. Atrill questioned whether there were natural mathematical and physical laws that would govern how companies (and governments) survive, thrive, and die.

He sought his answer in the balance sheet, and spent 26 years developing what is today the Structural Valuation Analysis (SVA™) methodology.

Focused on how prices are formed within the stock market, SVA represents a remarkable breakthrough in the economics field and has a proven track record of consistently identifying overvalued and undervalued stocks.

Clients & Testimonials

Wayne Latta,

Raymond James & Associates

Back in 1993, our firm became a subscriber of Strategic Analysis Corporation. Since then there have been many market ups and downs but SAC has been up to the task of predicting and guiding us through these turbulent times. I am very dependent on SAC for stock “buy and sell” recommendations especially “sell” points on many securities. My clients and I are much wealthier for taking their advice.
