Most of the Swedish people are saving their money in savings accounts with limited yield potential. This study examines how the two investment strategies Magic Formula and Graham Screener performs on the Swedish stock market subgroups Large, Mid and Small Cap. With a focus to determine which strategy who suits the private investor best and yield the highest return, with the risk taken into account. The study also examines if it is possible to time the market during a long period of time to yield the highest return possible. After calculating the return on each month and market, the result from this study shows us that Magic Formula is the preferred strategy to use. It was able to yield a higher return over time compared to Graham Screener on each market and with less risk involved. However, Graham Screener should nonetheless be regarded as a qualitative investment decision for the investor. The result also showed us that it is difficult to time the market over time which implicates that return based on a specific month occurs random and should be neglected by the private investor.
