ISACO’s Lead Investor Averages 22.7% Over Last Three Years

LONDON, November 9, 2011 -

ISACO’s chief investment strategist Stephen Sutherland has managed to outperform both the Nasdaq Composite and FTSE 100 over the last three years. Sutherland made a cumulative return of 84.9% helping him annualise 22.7% versus the Nasdaq Composite’s 16.8% and the FTSE 100’s 9.3%.

Beating the Nasdaq and the FTSE 100 has helped to verify his position as one of the UK’s leading investors. So how has Sutherland made such lofty gains in what has been a turbulent and extremely challenging period for investors?

“My investment philosophy consists of 3 disciplines; reading market direction, picking high quality investment funds and timing my entries and exits. Adhering to this 3 step approach has fortunately helped me to stay ahead of the markets since 1999. Even though most people are talking about the world in crisis, the market is much healthier than the media would have you believe - now is a great time to be invested if you are seeking long-term capital growth.”

When asked more about his take on the current market environment:

“My view still remains the same - we are in a healthy bull market correction. A month ago the common view from market pundits and financial media was that we had entered a new bear market. However as the market keeps climbing higher, an increasing amount of red cheeked individuals are putting the term ‘bear market’ back on the shelf.”

Even with the current economic woes stretched across the globe, Sutherland remains optimistic:

“With the market making zero price progress since August 1999, it tells me the market is due a decent move to the upside. My belief is that a stock market boom is imminent and the up and coming boom could be explosive. Even though it’s hard for most people to get their head around, the boom has probably already started and may last for the next 5-10 years.”
