Investor Advisory Service (IAS)
Let the Pros Do Your Stock Analysis
A monthly advisory service designed for those investors who want to follow the BetterInvesting method of investing -- but who could use a helping hand with some of the work.
Since it was founded in 1973 by NAIC to advise and educate its members, the Investor Advisory Service has been written by the professional money managers at Seger-Elvekrog, who use BetterInvesting-style stock-picking principles to consistently beat the markets.
Time-Tested, Proven Market-Beating Performance
How can the Investor Advisory Service help you? The proof is in the performance figures.
According to the Hulbert Financial Digest, the Investor Advisory Service earned a 14.0% total return over the five years ended December 31, 2007, beating the Standard & Poor's 500 Index return of 12.9% and matching the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index return of 14.0%.
Over the previous ten years, the IAS earned 10.5%, handily outperforming both the 6.3% return of the DJ Wilshire 5000 Index and the 5.9% return of the S&P 500.
Since December 31, 1995, the IAS has earned a 12.7% total return, compared to 9.4% for the DJ Wilshire 5000 Index (comparable figures for the S&P 500 Index are not provided for this period).
