2025 Was The Best Year On Record For Verdia Investing.

We want to begin by saying thank you to all of our Verdia Investing subscribers. We truly appreciate you all being a part of our investing family.

With a +116% return, 2025 was our best year ever! However, it wasn’t nearly as good a year for the S&P 500. With just a +16% return, we beat the S&P 500 by +100 points! Our returns were +625% higher than the S&P 500. Our 5 year compounded return increased was 69%, while the S&P 500 trails far behind at a modest 11%.

In 2026, we will still be faced with social, political and economic uncertainty. However, we see interest rates and inflation beginning to fall, while global conflicts continuing to boil. This economic correction and political uncertainty should make for an interesting and dynamic 2026.

That being said, Verdia and our InvestPro investing system is well prepared and positioned to capitalize on whatever the year and the markets bring.

Happy Investing, Verdia
