A small Canadian investment advisory is one of the top
performing newsletters in the world, according to Hulbert Financial
Digest. The Investment Reporter earned top billing with a portfolio
of stocks that returned 138 per cent in just six months.
Twice a year, Hulbert, a division of Dow Jones MarketWatch,
publishes a comprehensive chart examining the performance of more
than 500 newsletter portfolios. In this case, it was measuring
performance since the stock market's March 9 lows.
What is most impressive about The Investment Reporter's
triple-digit gains is the fact that this quietly-circulated
Canadian advisory beat a host of American counterparts at their own
game. The portfolio cited by Hulbert consists of "Higher Risk U.S.
Stocks."
This is not the first time this Canadian David has prevailed
against American Goliaths. The Investment Reporter has been
outperforming American and other international newsletters for a
quarter of a century.
According to Hulbert's detailed historical charts, since 1984,
only two advisories in the world have posted better overall returns
than The Investment Reporter.
Given the U.S. figures, it's not surprising that The Investment
Reporter also holds the same dominant position in the Canadian
equities it covers on a weekly basis. Year to date - again
according to Hulbert's figures - its total returns have been 21.5
per cent. Its Conservative stock portfolio has returned 28.2 per
cent. And its Canadian Speculative stock selections have done even
better, at 29.2 per cent.
The Investment Reporter's total returns have also topped the
average Canadian equity mutual fund by a wide margin - 65 per cent
in 2009. And its results are 22 per cent better than those of the
S&P/TSX Composite Index.
This matches up with Hulbert's long-term figures, which
demonstrate that The Investment Reporter has beaten all Canadian
equity mutual funds and the TSX for over 20 years.
Founded in 1941 by the late George Armstrong, an early proponent
of "value investing", this advisory stands as one of the oldest
continuously published advisories in North America.
The advisory is published by MPL Communications Inc., which is
Canada's largest provider of independent investment advice. Through
