Education, not advice
No tips, no recommendations, no price targets — ever.
The four big questions
For when you don't yet know what to search.
One process, six steps
Apply the same six steps to any small cap. The goal is not a buy signal — it's a clear classification: analyse, watchlist, or exclude.
Quick test
Is the stock worth deeper analysis at all?
OpenStop-or-go check
Are there hard exclusion criteria?
OpenFinancial traffic-light
Are the balance sheet, cash flow and margins robust?
OpenBusiness model
Do you really understand how the company makes money?
OpenValuation check
Genuinely attractive or merely optically cheap?
OpenPortfolio & monitoring
Does it fit your position size and monitoring capacity?
OpenKey terms, defined
Every metric the toolkit uses, in one line — so an annual report never loses you.
Where DACH small caps cluster
Start from a theme, then find companies that fit — not a random stock tip. Explained neutrally, no companies named.
The Small-Cap Toolkit
Print-ready, source-cited, reusable on every stock. We ask for your email only so we can send it and the updates.

Review first. Then decide.
Don't buy first and look for reasons afterwards. The toolkit reverses the process: examine the business, weigh the risks, challenge your own thesis — and only then decide. A stock tip is not an analysis. A low valuation is not undervaluation.

Common questions
No. Aktienwissen is education only. We never give advice, recommendations, price targets or forecasts, and we never name a security as a buy or sell.
The German-speaking DACH region: SDAX, Scale and Prime Standard in Germany, the SPI Extra on SIX in Switzerland, and the ATX Prime in Vienna. An index or segment is a starting point for research, not a quality seal.
No. The whole toolkit — the 6-step process, the checklists and the key terms — is free and open. Your email only unlocks the print-ready PDFs and the newsletter — no account, no password.
Every factual claim is traceable to a primary, official source: regulators, exchanges and company filings — BaFin, ESMA, Deutsche Börse, SIX Swiss Exchange, Wiener Börse, the Unternehmensregister and Bundesanzeiger. Thresholds and index rules change, so we verify against the current primary version.
No. We explain the process, sectors, mechanics and risks neutrally. Any worked examples are explicitly fictional. We do not profile, rank or recommend individual companies.
Every claim is traceable.
We work to a fixed source standard. Factual claims rely only on primary, official sources; high-risk topics never go live without review.
Regulators, exchanges, filings, official statistics. BaFin, ESMA, Deutsche Börse, SIX, Wiener Börse.
