BOCA RATON, Fla., June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Financial Trust Asset Management announced today it has been named to the celebrated PSN Top Guns List of best performing separate accounts, managed accounts, and managed ETF strategies for 1Q 2024. The highly anticipated list, published by Zephyr, remains one of the most important 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 (Separately Managed Accounts) 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."

Financial Trust Asset Management's separate account strategies won 41 Top Guns awards from Informa Investment Solutions (PSN) for the 1st Quarter 2024. Financial Trust had 19 strategies win 41 awards in 15 universe categories.

"We are honored to be recognized by Informa PSN for the performance of our quantitatively driven investment strategies," says Arno Mayer CFA CFP, Chief Investment Officer for Financial Trust.
