ROCHESTER, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Managed Asset Portfolios, LLC (MAP) a Rochester, MI-based independent investment adviser announced today that for the 5th time in 6 years, MAP’s Global Equity Composite achieved Informa Investment Solutions (IIS) PSN “Top Guns, Manager of the Decade” status.*
MAP’s Global Equity strategy was acknowledged by PSN Informa IS, for its returns on an absolute and risk-adjusted basis. This recognition, fortunately, has been bestowed upon Managed Asset Portfolios and the aforementioned strategy for 5 out of the last 6, 10-year periods. Those periods include:
2001-2011; 2002-2012; 2003-2013, 2004-2014
And finally …..2006-2016
There are currently 615 active strategies in the Global Equity category which report data to PSN’s Manager Database. Each year, PSN selects 10 managers within their respective categories. The 10 managers are selected using essentially a measure of risk taken relative to the award achieved. (Additional information can be found below.)
“Last year was marked with many surprises - from Trump winning the election, to the Cubs’ historic achievement in the World Series, to the Brexit vote - 2016 brought a number of outcomes that few predicted,” stated Michael S. Dzialo, President and Chief Investment Officer of Managed Asset Portfolios. “Especially in times like these, I am reminded of my gratitude for our unchanging investment approach that brings success through the ups and downs of the markets and changes in the global landscape. This award once again recognizes our team for holding true to MAP’s steadfast value-based investment philosophy.”
So, how is it we have been able to consistently beat our benchmark time and again? First and foremost, it begins with the cohesion of our investment team. All 3 portfolio managers have 20+ years of experience, with nearly all of that working together. The second variable, which cannot be bought, is the creation of a culture which encourages frequent dialogue and sharing of information as it pertains to security selection and portfolio construction. You cannot be afraid to ask the tough questions in the investment business. The tough questions are often described as those which involve challenging the status quo, internally as a firm, and externally in respect of the markets. An effective money manager is one that is always looking for reasons why a thesis on a particular stock being considered for the portfolio is wrong. This part of our process, while intangible, is necessary to survive given how competitive the world of active equity management has become over the last 10+ years with the rise of indexing. “You must be willing to adapt, and you also must be willing to admit your mistakes,” says Michael Dzialo.
Those two variables combined with having flexibility in respect of capitalizations, geographies, and sectors, allows us to construct portfolios which we feel offer the greatest return with the least risk. “Bottom line,” Dzialo said, “we attribute our success to hard work and common sense.”
