Laffer Tengler Investments Named to PSN Top Guns List of Best Performing Strategies for 1Q 2024
Quarterly PSN Top Guns List published by Zephyr identifies best-in-class separate accounts, managed accounts, and managed ETF strategies.
Scottsdale, Arizona – May 24, 2024 - Laffer Tengler Investments, Inc. was named to the PSN* Top Guns List *of best performing separate accounts, managed accounts, and managed ETF strategies for 1Q 2024. The quarterly rankings, published by Zephyr on May 21, 2024, remain one of the most utilized references for investors and asset managers.
“PSN Top Guns award winners are honored for exceptional performance. Showcasing these strategies within a dedicated peer universe provides essential insight for advisors, institutions, plan sponsors, family offices and wealth managers interested in incorporating SMAs into their clients’ portfolios,” says Nick Williams, Product Manager of PSN at Zephyr. “It is because of this that this quarter marks the first time that PSN Top Guns is now openly accessible.”
Laffer Tengler Investments’ Equity Income Strategy was named Top Gun 6 rating, meaning our Equity Income 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 PSN Managed Account US Value peer group. The top ten information ratios for the latest five-year period then become the 6 Star Top Guns.
The Laffer Tengler Equity Income Strategy invests in high-quality, large-cap stocks with strong growth potential and an above-market dividend yield. The primary investment focus is income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The strategy typically holds 25-35 positions. The Equity Income investment strategy uses a time-tested stock valuation metric (pioneered by our team) that is a consistent and robust indicator of value: Relative Dividend Yield ("RDY"). RDY measures the yield of a particular stock compared to the yield of the S&P 500 and does so over long periods of time. Consequently, a rising RDY provides investors an opportunity to at least consider an underperforming, cheaply valued stock for purchase.
“We are pleased that our Equity Income Strategy has been named on the Top Guns List by PSN,” said Nancy Tengler, CEO and CIO of Laffer Tengler Investments, Inc. “We look forward to continuing to serve our clients with our time-tested investment strategies and our commitment to service.”
Through a combination of 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.
