Investor Advisory Service Selected for the Hulbert Honor Roll for the 17th Consecutive Year
This leading stock investment newsletter has outperformed the market index over multiple market cycles and remains the only stock-related newsletter to receive this honor every year since 2010.
Troy, Michigan, November 10, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- For the 17th consecutive year, Investor Advisory Service has been selected for the highly regarded 2026-2027 Hulbert Investment Newsletter Honor List. Investor Advisory Service remains the only stock newsletter in the United States to be included in this honor list every year since 2010. IAS is published by ICLUBcentral Inc, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the non-profit investment education organization BetterInvesting.
Being selected for Mark Hulbert's annual honor roll is considered one of the strictest benchmarks in the industry. Hulbert divides the period since October 2007 into an upward market and a downward market, and evaluates the performance of each investment newsletter in these two types of markets separately. To qualify for selection, an investment newsletter must outperform the Wilshire 5000 Total Return Index in both the upward and downward market periods. The company states that this also demonstrates the high difficulty of consistently outperforming the benchmark in a constantly changing market environment, as only two investment newsletters were selected for this honor roll this year.
According to Hulbert Ratings, Investor Advisory Service achieved an annualized total return of 11.2% from October 31, 2007, to September 30, 2026. Over this nearly 19-year period, the performance of this stock portfolio recommended by this communication exceeded the annualized return of 10.7% of the benchmark Wilshire S&P 500 Total Return Index. The bear market periods measured by Hulbert included the financial crisis from 2007 to 2009 as well as the bear market in 2022.
Investor Advisory Service Editor Douglas Gerlach states: "Being selected for the Hulbert honor roll once is an achievement. Staying on the list for 17 consecutive years indicates that fundamental stock analysis is effective over a complete market cycle. From the financial crisis in 2008 to the interest rate hike cycle in 2022, our recommendations were more resilient than the broader market during downturns and also outperformed it during upturns. Persistence surpasses speculation."
BetterInvesting CEO Wayne A. Thorp states: "Having been selected for the honor list for 17 consecutive years, through financial crises, pandemics, and bear markets, this is a better indication of the quality of a research process than any single year alone. IAS is built on the same principles that have been taught to individual investors for the past 75 years: identifying high-quality growth companies, buying them at reasonable prices, and holding onto them for the long term."
Investor Advisory Service is published monthly, providing concise market analyses and detailed fundamental research on two recommended companies in each issue. Each selection is evaluated through a rigorous long-term growth framework, which includes five-year revenue and profit forecasts, financial quality ratings, as well as clearly defined buy and sell price ranges.
Gerlach added, "Investors are bombarded every day with macroeconomic noise, algorithm-driven volatility, and the rush for quick profits. Our performance proves that an investment approach focused on growth and quality has lasting power. By targeting companies with sustainable competitive moats, solid balance sheets, and the potential for double-digit profit growth, and by buying only at reasonable valuation multiples, our goal is to help subscribers build wealth over the long term."
Investor Advisory Service offers both print and online versions, with annual fees of $399 and $299 respectively. The newsletter is published monthly and provides subscribers with additional reminders and updates on a regular basis.
