Investor Advisory Service Named to Hulbert Honor Roll for 17th Consecutive Year

Leading Stock Newsletter Outperforms Broader Market Across Multiple Cycles to Remain the Only Equity Newsletter Honored Every Year Since 2010

TROY, Mich., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For the 17th consecutive year, the Investor Advisory Service (IAS) has earned a place on the prestigious Hulbert Investment Newsletter Honor Roll for 2026-2027. The Investor Advisory Service remains the only equity newsletter in the nation to qualify for the Honor Roll every year since 2010. IAS is published by ICLUBcentral Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BetterInvesting, the nonprofit investment education organization.

Earning a spot on Mark Hulbert's annual Honor Roll represents one of the industry's most rigorous benchmarks. Hulbert divides the period since October 2007 into up-market and down-market stretches and grades each newsletter's performance in both. To qualify, a newsletter must earn a better grade than the Wilshire 5000 Total Return Index in up markets and in down markets. Demonstrating the difficulty of achieving sustained outperformance in shifting market conditions, only two newsletters qualified for this year's Honor Roll.

According to Hulbert Ratings, the Investor Advisory Service achieved an annualized total return of 11.2% from October 31, 2007, through September 30, 2026. Over this nearly 19-year period, the newsletter's recommended stock portfolios outperformed the benchmark Wilshire 5000 Total Return Index's annualized return of 10.7%. The down-market periods Hulbert measures include the 2007-2009 financial crisis and the 2022 bear market.

"Making the Hulbert Honor Roll once is an achievement. Staying on it for 17 straight years shows that fundamental equity analysis works across full market cycles," said Douglas Gerlach, Editor-in-Chief of the Investor Advisory Service. "From the 2008 financial crisis through the rate hikes of 2022, our recommendations held up better than the market in downturns and outperformed it in up markets. Consistency beats speculation."

"Seventeen straight years on the Honor Roll, through a financial crisis, a pandemic and a bear market, tells you more about a research process than any single year can," said Wayne A. Thorp, CFA, CEO of BetterInvesting. "IAS is built on the same principles BetterInvesting has taught individual investors for 75 years: find quality growth companies, buy them at reasonable prices, and hold them for the long term."

Each monthly issue of the Investor Advisory Service delivers concise market commentary and detailed, fundamental research on two recommended companies. Every selection is evaluated through a strict, long-term growth lens that includes five-year revenue and earnings projections, financial quality scores, and clearly defined buy and sell price zones.

"Investors are bombarded daily with macroeconomic noise, algorithmic swings, and fast-money fads. Our performance demonstrates the enduring power of growth- and quality-focused investing," added Gerlach. "By targeting companies with durable competitive moats, disciplined balance sheets, and double-digit earnings growth potential, and buying them only at sensible multiples, we aim to help our subscribers build wealth over the long term."

Available in both print ($399/year) and online ($299/year) editions, the Investor Advisory Service is published monthly, with additional alerts and updates provided on a regular basis for subscribers. For more information or to subscribe, visit www.InvestorAdvisoryService.com.
