NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–C.J. Lawrence has been awarded a PSN Top Guns distinction by Informa Financial Intelligence’s PSN manager database, North America’s longest-running database of investment managers.

C.J. Lawrence was honored with a 6-Star Top Gun rating for its Bulldog-equity strategy.

“Our consistent ranking near the top of our pier group is a testament to our Bulldog-equity strategy, which is flexible to invest in both growth and value stocks at the core.” said Bernhard Koepp, CEO- Portfolio Manager of C.J. Lawrence.

Through a combination of Informa Financial Intelligence’s proprietary performance screens, *PSN Top Guns (*free registration to view Top Guns) ranks products in six proprietary categories in over 50 universes. This is a well-respected quarterly ranking and is widely used by institutional asset managers and investors. Informa Financial Intelligence is part of Informa plc, a leading provider of critical decision-making solutions and custom services to financial institutions.

Top Gun firms are awarded a rating ranging from one to six stars, with the number of stars representing continued performance over time.

C.J. Lawrence’s 6-Star strategy was named Top Gun “Bulldog-equity” rating, meaning the Bulldog-equity strategy had an r-squared of 0.80 or greater relative to the style benchmark for the recent five-year period. Moreover, the strategy’s returns exceeded the style benchmark for the three latest three-year rolling periods. Products are then selected which have a standard deviation for the five-year period equal or less than the median standard deviation for the peer group. The top ten information ratios for the latest five-year period then become the 6 Star Top Guns.

The signature “Bulldog Portfolio” is composed of a universe of about 200 stocks in companies that embody Bulldog characteristics such as a propensity to protect and grow market share and a focus on long-term returns.

“Congratulations to C.J. Lawrence for being recognized as a PSN Top Gun,” said Ryan Nauman, Market Strategist at Informa Financial Intelligence’s Zephyr. “This highly esteemed designation allows us to recognize success, excellence and performance of leading investment managers each quarter.”
