## Investing on a rear-view mirror

Annual accounts tell you where a business was, not where the market is heading.

### Stale accounts

Published figures are months old and too high-level to act on.

### No dealer-level view

You cannot see how a specific group performs against its peers.

### Guesswork on value

Valuations without live comparables risk overpaying.

## Why published accounts are not enough

Backward-looking, high-level data cannot guide a forward-looking investment.

### Public accounts

- ✕ Months out of date
- ✕ High-level, with no per-dealer detail
- ✕ No live market or demand signal
- ✕ No comparables for valuation

### Investor Reports

- ✓ The whole market, tracked live
- ✓ Per-dealer and per-group performance
- ✓ Market days supply and demand signals
- ✓ The largest database of comparables online
