INVEST LIKE THE 1%

Fellow Investor: At Forbes, we've been studying the great wealth creators of our time for more than 98 years and what's been clear is that the world's richest have amassed their wealth by thinking differently and acting differently than the typical investor. Most importantly, they've seen trends before they've happened. And they've acted! Never has this been more clear than the past ten years. As most people have suffered through the worst recession since the Great Depression, the world's richest have gotten richer and new billionaires have been minted at the fastest pace ever! How do they do it? They have an edge. They have the money and the power and the influence to control their own destiny. They can influence outcomes. And that's precisely what they do. Take Carl Icahn. He's a long time resident on our annual Forbes Billionaire's List. He's amassed a fortune of more than $17 billion by investing in stocks. Plain vanilla stocks, like you can buy in your electronic brokerage account. The difference is he can buy enough of the stock so that management works for HIM! He's amassed a fortune of more than $17 billion by investing in stocks. Plain vanilla stocks, like you can buy in your electronic brokerage account. The difference is he can buy enough of the stock so that management works for HIM! He doesn't buy and hope. He buys companies he knows he can change. Companies many investors are running FROM, he's running INTO. Why? Because he knows there's a chance to make a lot of money IF he can create change. And he normally does. When he does, it's not just Carl who benefits—the company's fellow shareholders do too. They get to ride the coattails of an investing legend, for FREE! He does the work…they get to share in the rewards. And they're not small rewards. Carl Icahn has returned 31% a year since 1968. That turns every $10,000 into $4.3 BILLION. That's the power of compounding big returns, year–in and year–out. And that's what makes billionaires! What if YOU could generate the kinds of returns that Carl Icahn does? Or Bill Ackman, another savvy billionaire investor who has amassed around $1.6 billion for himself? Or David Tepper, a billionaire investor who is on the path to surpass the great Warren Buffett as the world's richest investor? Sound impossible? Not anymore. With Forbes newest advisory, you can… INVEST ALONGSIDE  BILLIONAIRES WITH FORBES BILLIONAIRE'S PORTFOLIO After almost 100 years of covering the world's richest and smartest investors, we took a major step and decided to take our research a step further. Last December, we introduced our very first advisory specifically designed to empower the individual investor to invest like the billionaires. Yes, the same powerful people we've been covering in Forbes magazine and on Forbes.com. With Forbes Billionaire's Portfolio, you can reap the same kinds of returns as the billionaires I've just discussed—without needing $20 million or $5 million or $1 million to get started. In fact, if you can open a brokerage account, you can start investing just like these great wealth builders. As I said, when Carl Icahn hits a home run, he takes his fellow shareholders with him for a trot around the bases. You can be one of those fellow shareholders. Like the hundreds of Forbes Billionaire's Portfolio's Charter subscribers that reaped the astounding big winners from Icahn's and other brilliant billionaires' picks. 15 OUT OF 17 STOCKS ARE  GRAND SLAM WINNERS Since Forbes Billionaire's Portfolio launched just a little more than 4 months ago our charter subscribers have been amassing huge gains from the stocks we've been adding to our brand–new portfolio. Thanks to our simple but powerful method of tracking the investments of the smartest billionaire investors, subscribers have been profiting handsomely. For example, if you had joined us a few months ago, you would have gained: 6% in less than 1 month from a food and restaurant powerhouse 9% in 3 months from a major auto parts company 14% in 3 months from a 99–year old oil company 113% in 3 months from this best performing S&P stock…bought by Carl Icahn! 5% in 1 month from a $44–billion financial institution 14% in 3 months from an Illinois–based medical supplies company As a seasoned investor, you know that no advisory gets it right all the time, including one following the smartest billionaire investors. We lost 4% in 3 months from a Chinese direct sales company and 36% in 4 months from a car rental company. But our winners more than make up for any losers. In fact, while the S&P 500's gain in the first quarter of 2016 was a measly 1.2%, Forbes Billionaire's Portfolio'swas a whopping 8%. That's 36% in annualized gain for the year, quadruple the S&P's average annual return!

Simply put, Forbes Billionaire's Portfolio is an investment service that empowers you to follow the moves of top billionaire investors step for step. When they buy, you buy. When they sell, you sell. When you buy a stock from now on, you have a billionaire partner on your side that's rattling that cages in the executive suite and demanding that management do what they are mandated to do – MAXIMIZE VALUE FOR SHAREHOLDERS! There's no exotic formulas. There's no complicated algorithms. There's no complex stock–picking strategies. There's no need to hover over your brokerage account. It's just a common sense approach that works and is proven to result in home run stocks like you won't believe. I could go on and on, but here's the bottom line: You don't have to be a billionaire to earn returns like a billionaire. But you do need Forbes Billionaire's Portfolio to tell you which stocks and which billionaires are worth following. Now let me introduce you to the geniuses behind this unique service. WHY I PARTNERED WITH BRYAN AND WILLIAM I'm very selective about where I attach the Forbes name. We get proposals all the time to become partners with one party or another. We turn down the majority of them. With the experts behind our new Forbes Billionaire's Portfolio, I didn't have to think twice. They have managed money and done research for some of the most sophisticated investors in the world. And they are sophisticated investors in their own right. Plus, they've been studying the power of influential investors on stocks for almost 15 years.   Meet William Meade William Meade has been a star in the hedge fund firmament for years. He cut his teeth at Wood Asset Management, a $1.5 billion institutional asset management firm and hedge fund founded by a former Goldman Sachs partner. William went on to lead ETF and mutual fund research for Zacks Investment Research. As the head of Pure Alpha Research, a Chicago–based hedge fund consulting firm, he provides exclusive research to some of the top hedge funds and sophisticated investors in the world. William has an incredible record of predicting takeovers and stocks that later become high conviction stocks for billionaires—both areas from which some of the biggest returns in stocks come.   Meet Bryan Rich Bryan Rich started his career with Traval in London, a family office macro hedge fund that managed assets for a wealthy European family. He was a partner in a Wall Street alternative investment firm and was a senior trader with Integra Investment Management, a 2005 nominee for Global Macro Hedge Fund of the year. Today he is the founder of Logic Fund Management, a macro–economic and global investment research, consulting and advisory business. At Logic, he has advised hundreds of thousands of investors from over 80 countries on global macro investing issues. Bryan called the bull market in the dollar in 2009 and continued to explain why over the following years, when almost everyone was certain the dollar was spiraling into the abyss. He's argued for more than five years that the gold bugs were dead wrong on gold, and that gold would fall hard, back to pre–crisis levels. Gold prices have been nearly cut in half since. And he's been pounding the table all along that the Fed and other global central banks needed higher stock prices as one of their primary tools in restoring confidence and growth – he's been dead right. Now, while they've done very well for themselves and ultra–wealthy firms and individuals around the world, they've always been frustrated that people without a million dollars at their disposal have been locked out. Their own family and friends felt excluded. Their billionaire tracking investment service is the answer. And with Forbes Billionaire's Portfolio, the doors are kicked open for everyone to take part in the success and the edge that the best investors in the world have. And I want you on board.
