Financial Trust Asset Management Secures 59 PSN Top Guns Awards

The firm’s performance during the second quarter drew recognition for its disciplined execution, particularly within equity sectors. Arno Mayer, founder and chief investment officer, noted that the ValueMomentum Leaders™ strategy secured the top rank in the 5-Star US Equity category, while the VMV Large Cap strategy claimed the leading position in the 4-Star US Equity category. These results reflect the boutique manager’s institutional process, which combines fundamental stock selection with top-down macro analysis.

Sean Brown, president and CEO of YCharts, highlighted that the current investment landscape has proven difficult for many professionals, making the consistency of firms like Financial Trust Asset Management notable. The PSN Top Guns methodology relies on proprietary performance screens to evaluate products across 75 universes, focusing on sustained results rather than short-term fluctuations. For Financial Trust, this recognition serves as an external validation of their risk-adjusted strategies, though the firm maintains that past performance does not guarantee future outcomes in the institutional investment space.
