Top Mutual Fund Advisory Newsletters Online

In association with INVESTools, we present a FREE TRIAL OFFER to the MFI community.

FREE 30-day trials

Monthly subscription rates

Back issues

Online access

For ongoing guidance, advice and recommendations on mutual fund investing from some of today’s most popular analysts try any or all of these newsletters FREE for 30-days. At the end of your free trial, you can continue your online subscription on a monthly payment basis with the right to cancel at any time.

Equity Fund Outlook

Momentum mutual fund investing at its best! Those who followed editor Thurman Smith’s advice enjoyed a 15.4% average annual return over the last five years. His model portfolios were number one among the 23 general purpose fund newsletters covered in the Hulbert Financial Digest from 1991 to 1996. The compound rate of annual return averaged 4.1 percentage points more than that of the S&P 500. Smith’s portfolio advice is a model of clarity: subscribers are given advance notice of the precise date on which a transaction is to take place. He gives portfolio followers two weeks between the sale of one fund and the purchase of its replacement - ample time to receive a check from the redeemed fund and reinvest the proceeds in the new fund. Equity Fund Outlook is quick to tell subscribers about promising new funds in almost every new issue.

Closed-End Fund Digest and Real Estate Securities

Analyst/Editor Patrick Winton is well known for providing his subscribers with thoughtful ways to generated above-average returns from funds trading at a deep discounts to their net asset value. His balanced, global, taxable and tax-free model portfolios represent one of the true under-appreciated values in the securities markets.

That’s just the beginning. Winton also publishes his exclusive database of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in each issue. These limited partnerships delivered a 35.7% average return for 1996 according to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. And they’re getting intense financial press coverage for their potential to deliver in the future. Winton’s valuable performance data and buy/sell/hold recommendations in his database of 82 REITs can be a valuable decision tool if you’re looking for growth as well as dividends.

All Star Funds

Editor Ron Rowland puts the performance of his six model portfolios on the front page of his newsletter. Why? They’re impressive. Last year, his recommendations turned in the #1 performance of the 45 newsletters devoted to mutual funds over the past one- and three-year periods ending 12/ 31/96 according to the long-term performance ratings of The Hulbert Financial Digest. "During its six years of publication, a compost of the newsletter portfolios produced a cumulative gain of +254% for an average annual return of 23.5%. The top performing single-sector portfolio had a cumulative gain of +385.7% resulting in an average annual return of +30.1%," observed Mark Hulbert. Subscribers get six portfolios of recommended funds, a weekly email update hotline, and rankings for Fidelity, no-load equity, sector, bond, gold and index fund rankings.

No-Load Fund Analyst

Editor Ken Gregory takes an unconventional view of mutual fund selection by redefining risk as the probability of loss, not just volatility. That’s the proprietary criteria behind the four model portfolios of mutual fund selections that consistently beat the market on a risk-adjusted basis according to Hulbert Financial Digest data. As Mark Hulbert writes in his assessment of No-Load Fund Analyst: "From the beginning of 1990 through October 31, 1996, the smallest two-year gain for this service’s Conservative/Income-Oriented portfolio was +15.5%. For this newsletter’s Conservative/Not Income-Oriented portfolio the smallest two-year gain was +15.1%. And for the letter’s Long-Term Conservative Growth portfolio the smallest three-year gain over this period was +27.1%." Subscribers receive timely updates of no-load fund model portfolios, asset class evaluation and insights into mutual fund management strategies and key fund management changes.

Tips on Ordering

The free 30 day trials offered at INVESTools provide Mutual Fund Interactive users with a unique opportunity to look at several publications during the trial period. After that, managing your mutual fund investments based on the advice of a professional analyst means staying with a newsletter advisor over an extended period. A minimum of 12 to 18 months is recommended. Rather than requiring pre-payment of an annual subscription, INVESTools offers you monthly subscription payments with the opportunity to change publications or cancel at any time.
