Winthrop Capital Management Awarded Top Guns Designation
by Informa Financial Intelligence

Indianapolis, IN – November 19, 2020 — Winthrop Capital Management has been awarded a PSN Top Guns distinction by Informa Financial Intelligence’s PSN manager database, North America’s longest running database of investment managers.

Winthrop was honored with a 3 and 4 star Top Guns rating for its Large Cap Blend strategy, a 1 and 2 star rating for its Focused Growth strategy, and a 1, 2, and 3 star rating for its Ultra-Short Fixed Income Strategy.

PSN Top Guns ranks products in six proprietary categories in over 50 universes. This is a well-respected quarterly ranking and is widely used by institutional asset managers and investors. Informa Financial Intelligence is part of Informa plc, a leading provider of critical decision-making solutions and custom services to financial institutions.

Large Cap Blend

Our Large Cap Blend strategy returned 9.45% versus the S&P 500 Index return of 8.93% in the third quarter. In pursuing this strategy, WCM invests in medium and large public companies which are generating excess free cash flow and whose equity securities are trading at a discount to our estimation of intrinsic value.

  • 3-Star Category – The Large Cap Blend strategy had one of the top ten returns for the three-year period ending September 30, 2020 in its respective universe.
  • 4-Star Category – The Large Cap Blend strategy was awarded a Top Gun 4-Star Rating, meaning it had an r-squared of 0.80 or greater relative to the style benchmark for the recent five-year period. Moreover, returns must have exceeded the appropriate style benchmark for the three latest three-year rolling periods. The top ten returns for the latest three-year period then become the 4 Star Top Guns.

Focused Growth

Our Focused Growth strategy returned 14.05% versus the S&P 500 Index return of 8.93% in the third quarter. In pursuing this strategy, WCM invests in companies with above average revenue and earnings growth, performance momentum, and a sustainable business model for the future.

  • 1-Star Category – The Focused Growth strategy was awarded a Top Gun 1-Star rating, meaning it had one of the top ten returns for the third quarter in its respective universe.
  • 2-Star Category – Strategy had one of the top ten returns for the one-year period ending September 30, 2020 in its respective universe

Ultra-Short Fixed Income

Our Ultra-Short Fixed Income strategy returned 0.71% versus the Bloomberg Barclays Short-term Gov/Corp Index return of 0.10% in the third quarter. In pursuing this strategy, WCM invests in investment grade corporate bonds, municipal bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, and high yield bonds.

  • 1-Star Category – The Ultra-Short Fixed Income strategy was awarded a Top Gun 1-Star rating, meaning it had one of the top ten returns for the third quarter in its respective universe.
  • 2-Star Category – Strategy had one of the top ten returns for the one-year period ending September 30, 2020 in its respective universe.
