NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- C.J.
Lawrence, an investment management boutique based in New York City, today announced that its CJL
Balanced product has been recognized with Top Gun status by Informa
Investment Solutions' PSN manager ranking database for 3Q 2018. CJL
Balanced, which combines C.J. Lawrence's signature Bulldog-equity
strategy with an allocation into fixed income, ranked in the Top
Gun 2-Star Category as a top 10 performer within the US Balanced
universe, based on returns for the one-year period.
"Informa's Top Gun ranking is one of the most highly-regarded in
the industry, and we're incredibly proud to be included," said
Bernhard Koepp, CEO of C.J.
Lawrence. "We've seen such a positive response to CJL Balanced, a
product we created to mirror the economic developments of the
world's leading disruptors of the digital era – which we refer to
as 'Bulldogs.' When we identify these Bulldogs and build strategies
anchored around their increased market share, we open the door to
significant growth possibilities for large cap investors."
The Top Guns designation for CJL Balanced comes on the heels of
a recent 3.0 launch of its signature "Bulldog Portfolio," a
universe of about 200 stocks of companies that embody Bulldog
characteristics – which include their propensity to protect and
grow their market share and to focus on long-term returns. The
portfolio was also ranked in the Top 3 Best AAM unit investment
trusts (UIT) sold to Merrill Lynch advisors in 2018.
"PSN Top Guns, which ranks products in six categories in over 50
universes, is a go-to resource for institutional asset managers and
investors in their decision-making process," said Ryan Nauman, VP, product and market strategist
at Informa Financial Intelligence. "Congratulations to C.J.
Lawrence on being named a PSN Top Gun. This highly respected
ranking spotlights the performance of leading investment managers
each quarter."
