Five things beginners can do with this screener in minutes
A concrete look at what Belegget actually does and why each step matters when you're just starting out.
Narrow 25,000 stocks to a relevant shortlist using filters you already understand
When you open the screener for the first time, the full stock universe can feel overwhelming. But you don't need to know P/E ratios to start. Sector and country are enough. If you're interested in European technology companies, select those two filters and you'll immediately see which companies qualify.
From there you can add a market cap preference: whether you prefer the relative stability of large established companies or the growth potential of smaller ones. In three clicks you've gone from 25,000 options to a focused, manageable list.
Filter by Value, Growth or Defensive stocks without doing a single calculation
These classifications might sound like investing jargon, but they represent genuinely useful concepts. A Value stock is simply a company trading at a price that looks cheap relative to what it actually earns. A Growth stock is a company expanding its revenue at above-average speed. Defensive stocks pay reliable dividends and hold up better when markets turn rough.
Trading below what fundamentals suggest they're worth
Revenue expanding faster than the average company
Stable dividends and lower volatility through market cycles
Belegget calculates all of this for you. Pick the label that matches your instinct and the screener does the math.
Use the Smart Filter quiz when you're not sure which filters to pick
The biggest challenge for most beginners isn't the investing itself, it's the setup. Knowing that you want "a solid company" doesn't tell you which of 40 filters to enable. The Smart Filter solves this by asking questions about your goals instead.
How long do you plan to hold? What kind of growth are you after? How much volatility can you sit with comfortably? Three to five questions and the screener configures itself. The result is a stock list that actually reflects your thinking, not just a default filter combination you copied from somewhere else.
Click any stock and read its full story in plain language
Every stock in your screener results links to a dedicated company page. You'll find revenue trends, profit margins, debt levels, dividend history, and analyst targets all structured so you can get the essentials in about two minutes.
The language is intentionally direct. Instead of showing you a raw debt-to-equity ratio and leaving you to interpret it, the page labels it as "Low debt", "Moderate debt" or "High debt" with a short explanation of what that means for the company. The underlying numbers are still there if you want them. You don't have to use them to make an informed decision.
Save your shortlist and get notified when something changes
After filtering you'll typically end up with a handful of interesting names. Add them to a watchlist organized however makes sense to you. One list for companies you're actively researching. One for stocks you want to revisit after the next earnings report. One for dividend candidates you're monitoring over a longer horizon.
Belegget sends you a notification when something meaningful changes for a stock on your list: a significant price move, new quarterly results, or a change in its classification. You stay informed without having to check every day manually.
Risk class and volatility: what they mean in practice
Two filters that beginners often skip but that make a real difference once you understand them.
Risk class explained
Low volatility, solid finances. Think large utilities or consumer staples.
Moderate price swings, mix of stability and growth potential.
Higher volatility, growth-oriented companies with more price movement.
High risk and high potential. Often smaller, faster-growing companies.
As a beginner, Cautious or Balanced is a good starting point.
Volatility explained
Lower volatility means calmer daily price swings. Easier to hold without stress.
You don't need to use risk class and volatility at the same time. Risk class is a broader combined score. Volatility is purely about price movement speed. Start with risk class to get a feel for which category suits you, then explore volatility once you understand the difference.
