NEWS RELEASE 19 TH NOV MPZ 1999-11-19 (provided courtesy of BCE Emergis E-News Services.) register to receive future releases by email from BCE Emergis E-News Services MPL Publication's Investment Recommendations Recognized For Outstanding 15-Year Performance Toronto, Ontario-- The investment advisory track record of MPL Communication's longest-established publication has been recognized as among the best in the world. The Investment Reporter, a Toronto-based weekly investment advisory newsletter, has outperformed every Canadian equity mutual fund in Canada over the past 15 years. The advisory's performance, based on analysis by the world's leading investment advisory rating service, Hulbert Financial Digest of Arlington, Virginia, shows that The Investment Reporter also handily outperformed the TSE300 over the same period. Globe and Mail Report on Business writer Rob Carrick wrote in his November 18th "Personal Finance" column: "The Investment Reporter doesn't capture the flash and excitement of stock market investing. But it does know its stocks." Mr. Carrick added: "In the 15 years to June 30, the so-called key stocks recommended by this weekly newsletter delivered returns that beat the Toronto Stock Exchange 300 composite index by a wide margin and just demolished the average Canadian equity mutual fund." As measured by the Hulbert service, over the past 15 years the compound annualized return for stocks recommended by The Investment Reporter was 14.7 per cent. That means if you had invested $10,000 15 years ago following The Investment Reporter's advice, you'd have had $78,244 at the end of June, a compound annual average return of 14.7 per cent. The TSE 300 rose 11.1 per cent annually over the same 15-year period, the average Canadian equity fund just 8.9 per cent and the top equity fund 13.1 per cent. A $10,000 investment in the average Canadian equity fund would have grown to $35,927 - less than half of The Investment Reporter's key stocks. Robert Walkden, the 71-year-old chairman of the newsletter's investment planning committee, attributes the success to a deceptively simple formula of selecting quality companies and holding their shares for a long period of time. The Investment Reporter is one of the oldest financial advisories in North America. It was established in 1941 by Mr. George Armstrong and has been continuously published ever since. Most of its subscribers are individual Canadian investors who seek profitable low-risk investment advice. The advisory is also closely followed by the professional investing community. The Investment Reporter has twice been named World's Best Investment Advisory by the Newsletter Publishers Association based in Washington, D.C. MPL is Canada's largest provider of independent investment advice. In addition to The Investment reporter, MPL publishes Investor's Digest of Canada, widely acknowledged as the country's pre-eminent newspaper for investors. Other publications in Canada include Louis Rukeyser"s Wall Street, its All Star Funds mutual funds rating service, the Canadian Mutual fund Advisor, the Money Reporter, Blue Book of Stock reports, Best U.S. Stocks for Canadian Investors and the Canadian Resources and Pennymines Analyst.
