The aim of Conscious Investor is to help investors find their own quality companies selling at profitable prices. Sometimes it can speed up this process by seeing what others have done – and, more importantly, to know why they have done it. For this reason Conscious Investor has a Watch List and a Model Portfolio.

Watch List The Watch list consists of companies that we would consider investing in but are still a little too expensive. Subscribers are given summary analyses of each of the stocks in the Watch List.

Model Portfolios The Model Portfolios are two portfolios of stocks prepared by Professor John Price that were started in March 2003, one for the USA and one for Australia.

An investment of $10,000 in the USA portfolio would now have a value of $18,029.50 as of July, 2007 compared to $17,804.32 if the same amount of money had been invested in the S&P500. The same investment in the Australian portfolio would have a value of $33,007.72 compared to $22,317.08 if the same amount of money was invested in the All Ordinaries Index.

Below we show the performance of those stocks that have been in the portfolios for at least 12 months. Subscribers get access to the details of these portfolios including the actual companies. (The returns include dividends and the averages are weighted according to the time the companies have been in the portfolios.)
