As many know, the Hulbert Financial Digest shut down last year, but editor Mark Hulbert is back with a reconstituted "Investment Newsletter Honor Roll" and the Investor Advisory Service is on it for the eighth consecutive year.

Hulbert announced his latest findings in USA Today last week in an article entitled “How to pick an investment adviser: Don't be dazzled by short-term gains.” In the story, Hulbert writes that his recommendation that investors “follow all-weather advisers who have produced above-average performance in both up and down markets. My research has shown that such advisers produce superior performance with below-average risk, which is a winning combination.”

In the 2017 Honor Roll, Hulbert names just six newsletters that have outperformed the market during the most recent four bull and most recent four bear markets. On balance, as Hulbert writes, newsletters that produce above-average performance in both kinds of markets proceeded to perform better, on balance, than those that did not.

On behalf of the entire team at ICLUBcentral and the Investor Advisory Service, we are proud of this acknowledgment of our long-term-oriented growth stock approach and thank all subscribers for their loyalty. We look forward to many more years of investing success!
