It all started with a homework assignment…
When Louis Navellier was a grad student at Cal State Hayward some 30 years ago, his professor gave him an assignment that would change his life: Create a model that would mimic the S&P 500.
His professor wanted to prove that indexing was the best way to invest. Using Wells Fargo's powerful mainframe computers, Louis completed his assignment—but there was one little problem.
He didn't just mirror the S&P's performance, he actually beat it!
This formed the basis of a very valuable lesson, something 80% of investors fail to understand: Stock selection in growth stocks can deliver far superior returns to passive index investing. Why settle for merely keeping pace with the market, when you can beat it some 4-to-1?
A Renowned Record for Beating the Market
Once Louis Navellier discovered this market-beating formula, he devoted extensive time and resources to testing, refining and validating his findings. In 1980, Navellier launched his own independent investment newsletter for individual investors called MPT Review. His goal was simple: To uncover Wall Street's inconsistencies and help individual investors beat the market with less risk in the market's best growth stocks.
Over 20 years later MPT Review, now renamed Emerging Growth, has a track record of 5,163% gains vs. a mere 1,456% for the S&P 500—that's a record of beating the market nearly 4-to-1.
Today, Louis Navellier helps tens of thousands of investors achieve their financial dreams through his four unique investment services:
His two longest-running services are designed to help investors be tax-efficient and are therefore categorized as buy-and-hold services. Emerging Growth helps investors generate market-beating profits in small- and mid-cap stocks. Blue Chip Growth applies the same market-beating formula used in Emerging Growth to strictly low-risk, large-cap stocks.
Navellier's remaining two services are designed to help investors make quick profits through weekly trading recommendations. These services are fast-paced in terms of both trading and profit-taking. Quantum Growth hones in on the market's top 0.5% of stocks about to be his with a massive growth surge. While Global Growth hones in on the best international plays traded right here on the U.S. exchange.

A Respected Leader On and Off Wall Street
Louis Navellier is no stranger to Wall Street. He manages more than $5 billion in private and institutional accounts through his fund management company, Navellier & Associates.
The New York Times called him "an icon among growth stock investors" and the media frequently turns to Louis for his expert opinion. He makes regular appearances on CNBC and Fox Business News and is frequently quoted by MarketWatch and Bloomberg.
As successful an investor as he is, Navellier never forgets where he came from. The son of a stonemason, Louis understands the importance of plain hard work—which explains why he and his analysts roll up their sleeves every weekend to find the best stocks trading on Wall Street today.
He credits Cal State Hayward's year-round curriculum, which allowed him to graduate from college by the age of 20, for providing him with a solid foundation in business and economics—not to mention giving him access to the tools that helped him discover his market-beating breakthrough. Navellier serves as a trustee of the Cal State East Bay Education Foundation and has pledged to give $500,000 to the school over the next few years.
Above all, Louis Navellier is a family man. He is husband to Wendy and father to three children, Natalie, Chase and Crystal. His greatest hope is that his tireless work ethic rubs off on his children and helps them succeed in all of their endeavors.
