L&S Advisors Again Awarded Top Gun Status by Informa

L&S Advisors was recently named a Top Gun performer for their Growth & Income or Exit portfolio by PSN for ranking in the top 1 percentile. This distinction is only awarded to the top ten performers of each peer group that have consistently outperformed both their benchmark and their peers.


Investment products must have returns greater than the style benchmark for the three latest three-year rolling periods. With over 5,000 different investment vehicles in the database, and only 10 managers elected for each category, this places L&S Advisors in very elite company. PSN is an investment manager database and is a division of Informa Investment Solutions.

"We are proud to be recognized by Informa as a Top Gun advisor," said Sy Lippman, a Senior Managing Director of L&S Advisors. He continues, "Today's changing environment has forced us to modernize our approach and strategies. The market now moves faster than it ever has. At the same time that we are actively managing risk within our clients' portfolios, we are seeking investment opportunities across global capital markets. Anyone who sits and waits could simply miss the potential opportunities. We believe to outperform the market, an advisor must think tactically. We see this award from Informa as a validation that we are successfully doing the job we set out to do for our clients."

"Our philosophy at L&S has always been to manage risk not the market within our portfolios," said Jordan Friedman, a Managing Director of L&S Advisors. He continues, "It's that thought process combined with our belief that long term success in the stock market is not driven by how much you capture on the upside, but more importantly how much you protect on the downside, that I believe has contributed to our repeated accolades from Informa, especially given all the volatility in the markets."
