SMID Value – PSN Top Guns – Q4 2023
The Cambiar SMID Value portfolio was recognized by PSN as a Top Gun strategy for Q4 2023.
Cambiar Investors has been named to the PSN Top Guns list of best-performing separate accounts, managed accounts, and managed ETF strategies for Q4 2023. The highly anticipated list, published by Zephyr, remains one of the most important references for investors and asset managers.
“Achieving Top Gun status confirms that Cambiar Investors has outperformed their peers in a meaningful way” – Nick Williams, Zephyr
“As the needs and viewpoints of investors are becoming more diverse, investment advisors must incorporate strategies capable of being customized to their client’s goals. SMA strategies are becoming increasingly important as an efficient tool to provide custom investment solutions for portfolios of all sizes and have seen asset growth of over 19% in 2023. It is also increasingly important for managers to identify quality SMA strategies. Zephyr PSN has been helping advisors find quality products for 40 years,” says Nick Williams, Product Manager of PSN at Zephyr.
Through a combination of PSN’s proprietary performance screens, the PSN Top Guns list ranks products in six categories in over 75 universes based on continued performance over time.
Cambiar’s SMID Value strategy was given a Top Gun 6 Star rating, meaning our SMID Value 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.
Cambiar’s Large Cap Value strategy was also given a Top Gun 6 Star rating along with Top Gun Manager of the Decade.
