Christian Value Investment Newsletter Captures Top-Two Ranking
For a second straight month a top-two finish among 133 competitors was reported for Faithful Servant LLC’s flagship Newsletter, The Christian Value Investor by Hulbert Financial Digest ‘s February issue. The ranking was determined by the newsletter’s risk-adjusted performance over the previous 5 year period.
TCVI’s annualized gain of 13.0% outperformed the 10.4% gain earned by the Wilshire 5000 Stock Index HFD cites as a performance benchmark. This raw or unadjusted return was the 11th highest in the five year category, but combined with TCVI’s significantly lower risk factor, earned the second place risk-adjusted finish, having climbed steadily in the rankings since August 2015 when it first broke into the “top seven” that HFD highlights in each issue at the 5, 10, and 20 year milestones.
Reacting to the news, Mick Williams, TCVI’s editor and co-founder of Faithful Servant LLC, noted, “We’re saddened to learn that MarketWatch’s Hulbert Financial Digest will cease publication after more than 35 years of service to the investment community. This highly respected, impartial publication, owned by the same corporation that owns The Wall Street Journal and Barron’s, has been a great ‘friend’ to The Christian Value Investor family of newsletters. The investment professionals who subscribed to our newsletters over the years did so primarily based on the objective performance data reported by Hulbert Financial Digest and its on-line companion Hulbert Interactive.”
Faithful Servant LLC’s co-founder Richard Williams noted, “Mick recently got invited to join some of his college faculty colleagues in attending the Kingdom Advisors Annual Conference February 17-19, 2016. We’re very excited about the opportunities this affords.”
According to Mick Williams, his three newsletters, The Christian Value Investor, The Christian Utility Investor, and The Christian Transportation Investor, grew out of his 2008 MBA thesis and the capstone project of an MBA entrepreneurship class. He became convinced of the potential of his project’s business model for a distinctively Christian investment newsletter embracing the Value Investing principles first taught by Warren Buffett’s teacher, boss, mentor, and friend, Benjamin Graham, and he co-founded Faithful Servant LLC with his father, Richard Williams, a retired Air Force officer.
