Quarterly PSN Top Guns List published by Zephyr identifies best-in-class separate accounts, managed accounts, and managed ETF strategies
NEW YORK, NY—September 6, 2022— C.J. Lawrenceannounced today it has been named to the celebrated PSN Top Guns List of best performing separate accounts, managed accounts, and managed ETF strategies for Q2 2022. The highly anticipated list, published by Zephyr, remains one of the most important references for investors and asset managers.
“With the growing interest in separately managed accounts, the PSN Top Guns List has attracted greater attention,” says Margaret Tobiasen, SVP of Data Distribution who cites PSN’s pioneering efforts as the first SMA database as the reason for the list’s popularity. “C.J. Lawrence has done remarkable work and we are pleased to include them as a top performer.”
“Our Bulldog-Equity strategy retained the highest 6-star PSN-rating versus our Large Cap Core pier group at the end of Q2, a very difficult quarter in the current market cycle. One thing we have learned during our 25-year track record is to stick with quality companies that can defend and expand market share dominance during adverse market conditions.”
C.J. Lawrence CEO and Portfolio Manager Bernhard Koepp
“We are gratified by our strong showing in the PSN Top Guns performance evaluation. Our 6-star rating is a testament to our team’s analytical rigor and disciplined investment process which help us identify today’s and tomorrow’s winners,”
C.J. Lawrence Partner and Portfolio Manager, Terry Gardner.
Through a combination PSN’s proprietary performance screens, the PSN Top Guns List ranks products in six proprietary categories in over 75 universes based on continued performance over time.
- C.J. Lawrence’s CJL Equity – Large Core Equity Universe – 6 Stars: 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.
- C.J. Lawrence’s CJL Balanced – US Balanced Universe – 4 Stars: 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. The top ten returns for the latest three-year period then become the 4 Star Top Guns.
