Firm will Continue to Receive High-Quality Consultancy Services for American Renaissance & European Select Portfolio UITs
MONUMENT, COLO.—March 24, 2015—Advisors Asset Management (AAM) has signed an agreement with Cyrus J. Lawrence LLC (CJL), which constitutes the former investment management division of International Strategy & Investment Inc. (ISI). Cyrus J. Lawrence was re-launched in March 2015, following ISI Group’s acquisition by publicly held Evercore Partners in October 2014, and will continue to provide consultancy services to AAM for the American Renaissance and European Select Portfolio unit investment trusts (UITs).
We are confident that our renewed partnership with Cyrus J. Lawrence will build on the predecessor firm’s foundation of providing investors with timely and cost-efficient opportunities to take advantage of promising trends in the U.S. and global economy
, said Richard Stewart, CFA, Executive Vice President of UITs at AAM. “This agreement is another example of our commitment to teaming up with high-quality managers to ensure investors receive access to innovative investment strategies.”
For more than a century, the name Cyrus J. Lawrence has been synonymous with providing outstanding investment advice to institutional and individual investors. The Cyrus J. Lawrence investment process, from research to implementation, is the singular focus of CJL’s portfolio managers. CJL’s principals combine more than 100 years of investment experience and include legendary strategist James E. Moltz, who is also its Chairman.
