FYI: The 10 advisers featured here are those at the top of the Hulbert Financial Digest’s performance rankings from the October 2007 bull-market peak through Jan. 31 of this year. Their annualized returns range from 9.7% to 16.7%, versus 6% for the dividend-adjusted S&P 500 index. Note carefully that, because most of the top-10 performers over this period try to keep their model portfolios at or close to fully invested at all times, they can be expected to suffer big losses during a severe bear market. But if the future is like the past, they can make enough more during other times to more than make up for those losses — and come out ahead of those who engage in active market timing

Wiener has delivered for his subscribers. Over the past ten years through February 28, his newsletter, The Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors, has returned an annualized 8.3%, compared with 7.7% for Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index, according to the authoritative Hulbert Financial Digest. Wiener has also achieved market-beating returns over other time periods. What’s more, Wiener’s portfolios have exhibited 15% less volatility, on average, than the overall stock market. That’s important because lower volatility almost always translates into smaller losses in bear markets.
