The Hulbert Financial Digest recently published an update on the long-term performance of the investment newsletters that it covers, and the results for the Investor Advisory Service newsletter are superior!
In each of the tracked periods covered as of June 30, 2011 -- year-to-date, 5-year, 10-year, 15-year, and overall since 12/31/1995 -- the IAS has outperformed all the following indices: the Standard & Poor's 500, the Wilshire 5000, Treasury Bills, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the NASDAQ OTC Index, the Russell 2000 SmallCap Index, the MSCI Europe-Australasia-Far East (EAFE) Index, and the Lehman Treasury Index.
In the prior 15 years, IAS delivered an annualized total return of 11.4%, compared to just 6.0% for the S&P 500 and 6.7% for the Wilshire 5000.
This is more proof that the long-term stockpicking methods used in each issue of the Investor Advisory Service work!
