FSN™ 25-Year Benchmark Study

Our Fiduciary Stock Navigator™ rating was applied retrospectively across 25 years (12/31/2000 to 12/31/2025). The pattern is perfect: higher grades consistently delivered higher returns.

Why This Matters

Monotonic precision: Returns decrease consistently as grades decrease. A+ outperforms A, A outperforms B, and so on through F. This isn't curve-fitting—it's statistical proof that our ratings capture real risk-return relationships across market cycles.
