Stephen Sutherland; the UK’s Leading
Authority in ISA Trend Investing

 

   
      

 

Stephen Sutherland is the creator and pioneer of a brand new way to invest called ISA Trend Investing.

With ISA Trend Investing you trade investment funds using a Stocks and Shares ISA or a SIPP – where your chief aim is to “beat” the market over the long-term.

When you get this right it helps you to get superior compounded investment returns. 

The strategy is simple. You invest and profit in the up markets (the bull markets) and you move into a cash based investment to fully protect your portfolio in the down markets (the bear markets).
     

               

                                                          

                               Man Worth £129 Million Follows Stephen's Lead 

Bestselling author of The 80/20 Principle and The Sunday Times Rich List member Richard Koch recently became one of Stephen’s clients.

This is what Richard had to say about Stephen:

“I hold Stephen in high regard.  When it comes to investment, it is hard to tell who is good – but I have been very impressed with Stephen and his record and the logic of his approach.  He is also, I believe, a person of great integrity.”

                           Predicted the start and end of the 2003 - 2007 Bull Market       

Understanding market direction (the trend) helped Stephen correctly predict the start and end of the 2003-2007 bull market.

Correctly predicting the start of that 5 year bull market bull market quickly helped him become a “liquid” millionaire.

£19,000 to £783,000 in Just over 3 Years

From May 2000 to July 2003, Stephen’s trading account jumped from $31,409 into $1.28 million.  

Also close to the beginning of the new bull market, over a 7 month period he made a £464,634 gain and in just one day, he made a tidy £107,543.

£107,543 “One Day” Scoop Helps to Buy Dad a Bentley

With this one day gain, he and his brother Paul decided to buy their dad his dream car; a Bentley Continental.

Another big one day win came in on the 13th of October 2008.

That was when Stephen’s joint trading account surged 39.3%.

Yes, he scored close to a 40% gain–on his full trading account–in a single day.

How did he do that?

Believe it or not, it happened in a period when most investors were panicking and selling.

Because Stephen saw a huge opportunity, he boldly bet on the market rising and aggressively bought a large number of QQQQ call options; the tracking stock of the Nasdaq 100.

This bold move helped his account post a gain for the month, beating the market by 20.6%.

This was the same month that US stocks suffered their worst monthly losses in 21 years.

For example, the Nasdaq Composite plummeted 17.7%.

As well as correctly predicting the start of the powerful five year bull market that began in March 2003, he also correctly called the bear market that began Oct 2007, quickly moving into a cash based fund many months before the 24.7% market falls from Oct 07 to March 2008. That skilful decision helped his clients to preserve and protect their capital in a very challenging period.

When Everybody Was Bullish on China, Stephen Was Bearish

Stephen also predicted the end of the Chinese bull market that violently ended in October 2007 and which so far has corrected a nasty 72.8%.

HIRE CAR™; the Key to Finding the Best of the Best Investment Funds

Stephen also created a unique investment fund screening tool and named it HIRE CAR™. Many of Stephen’s clients say HIRE CAR™ is perhaps the most effective investment fund screening tool ever developed.

It is a simple seven step process for finding the best of the best investment funds. HIRE CAR™ found the Number 1 performing fund in 2003 which made a gain of 91.05%.

Champion Funds HIRE CAR™ Uncovered after 2003

HIRE CAR™ went on to help Stephen and his clients find and invest in the Number 1 and the Number 3 top performing funds over the 2003-2007 bull market.

The Number 1 performing fund of the 03-07 bull market is called the Invesco Perpetual Latin America Fund. It gained 587.8%, beating the Nasdaq by almost six times and averaging 47% per year over that 5 year period.

The Number 3 performing fund of the 03-07 bull market is called the Scottish Widows Latin America Fund. This one gained 492.3%, beating the Nasdaq by almost five times and averaging 42.7% per year over that 5 year period.

                                      2009, Yet Another Good Year for Stephen

 Since 1997 ISA Trend Investing has helped Stephen make a tax-free gain on his original starting capital of 1150%.

And what has helped him to make such a gain is by using a system that allows him to beat the market over the long-term. In 2009, he yet again trounced the market scoring 62.9% on his ISA portfolio, 76.5% on his SIPP, and a remarkable 799.8% in his options trading account. No wonder the clients who follow him are happy.

Network with Pioneers, Authorities, Sports
Stars and Serial Property Investors

Many of Stephen’s clients who started with nothing now have six and seven figure accounts. His client list includes aspiring millionaires and multi-millionaires.

His clients come from varied backgrounds and include executives, CEO’s, managing directors, business owners, entrepreneurs, pioneers of industries, property investors, The Sunday Times Rich List members, sports celebrities and professionals such as doctors, dentists and lawyers.

For example, he has the original pioneer of health clubs in the UK, a dentist who is a leading authority in cosmetic, implant and restorative dentistry, a professional rugby player, a hedge fund manager and two serial property investors, who at the last count owned 150 properties between them.

Stephen is also the co-author of The FAST TRACK to Financial Independence which was written in 2001 with his brother Paul. Paul is the Managing Director of ISACO, a company that helps its clients retire rich in just 3 minutes per day.

Living the Dream

In 2007, Stephen and his brother Paul officially became “financially free” (living dream lifestyles).

People who have known Stephen a long time say that although he can be very direct, he is extremely likeable, a real expert in his field and a man of total integrity. Stephen’s personal philosophy on “how to live a good life” is based on four key elements; to learn, to serve, to love and to experience.
