Investor Advisory Service's Historic Achievement
In a stunning milestone, the Investor Advisory Service has achieved a remarkable distinction by securing its 16th consecutive year on the prestigious Hulbert Investment Newsletter Honor Roll. This announcement, made on October 24, 2025, highlights the service's commitment to providing exceptional investment advice and stock recommendations consistently over the years.
The Hulbert Honor Roll, curated by esteemed financial analyst Mark Hulbert, recognizes investment newsletters that excel in delivering superior risk-adjusted returns over nearly two decades through various market cycles. This rigorous selection process ensures that only the most outstanding newsletters earn a merit on this respected benchmark.
The Investor Advisory Service stands apart in the investment community as the only newsletter to have maintained such an impressive accolade since 2010. This year, the competition was tighter than ever, with only two newsletters making the Honor Roll—a testament to the ongoing dedication and smart strategies deployed by the Investor Advisory Service.
According to the data provided by Hulbert Ratings, the Investor Advisory Service delivered an astonishing average annual return of 11.7% from November 1, 2007, to September 30, 2025. This performance notably outpaced the Wilshire 5000 Total Stock Market Index by nearly 20% annually over that same timeframe. This remarkable achievement underscores the effectiveness of the Investor Advisory Service's investment philosophy centered around high-quality stock selections bought at sensible prices.
Editor-in-Chief Douglas Gerlach elaborated on the service's approach, stating, "High-quality stocks, bought at sensible prices, can lead to bountiful portfolio returns." This commitment to quality selections has made the newsletter a trusted resource for subscribers seeking to navigate the complexities of the stock market.
The quarterly publication of the Investor Advisory Service provides its subscribers with in-depth analysis and insights into two to three selected stocks each month. Every recommendation is founded on comprehensive fundamental evaluations and a disciplined investment methodology that includes five-year risk and return projections, along with clearly defined buy and sell price targets.
For many, the allure of the Investor Advisory Service lies in its integrity and commitment to conflict-free guidance. Gerlach emphasized, "We pride ourselves on being free from conflicts of interest, unlike many Wall Street institutions. Our disciplined methodology continuously delivers results that surpass passive investment strategies."
The monthly issues are available in both print and digital formats, catering to subscribers' preferences. While the print edition is priced at $399 per year, the online version is available for $299 annually. Alongside the regular monthly issues, subscribers also benefit from regular alerts and updates, reinforcing the continual support for their investment journey.
