Quarterly PSN Top Guns List published by Zephyr identifies best-in-class separate accounts, managed accounts, and managed ETF strategies.
AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 11, 2025 / Kensington Asset Management, LLC announced today it has been named to the celebrated PSN Top Guns List of best performing separate accounts, managed accounts, and managed ETF strategies for Q1 2025. The highly anticipated list, published by Zephyr, remains one of the most important references for investors and asset managers.
"Q1 2025 presented a fascinating market narrative marked by significant rotation and global shifts. Success demanded adaptability, deep market understanding, and strategic positioning," says PSN Product Manager Nick Williams. "PSN Top Guns managers demonstrated exceptional skill in navigating these complex dynamics, where value sectors outperformed growth, international markets showed strength, and policy shifts created both challenges and opportunities. Their expertise in reading and responding to these evolving market conditions continues to showcase the enduring value of active management in separately managed accounts."
Through a combination of PSN's proprietary performance screen, the PSN Top Guns awards products in six proprietary categories in over 75 universes based on continued performance over time.
Kensington's Dynamic Allocation Strategy earned a PSN Top Guns 1-Quarter Category award, ranking among the top ten returns in the ETF US Equity Universe for the quarter.
"We're honored to be recognized by PSN for our performance in Q1," said Jordan Flebotte, Portfolio Manager at Kensington Asset Management. "Our process is designed to stay disciplined and reactive to changing market conditions. Q1 was a perfect example of how active strategies, such as Dynamic Allocation, can help preserve capital while still seeking opportunity. This award affirms our commitment to providing clients with a reliable, adaptive approach in uncertain environments."
"Tactical flexibility is often underrated until volatility arrives," added Patrick Sommerstad, Portfolio Manager. "This quarter showed the value of a strategy that can get defensive fast, and then re-engage when conditions improve. That's the tactical edge we aim to provide."
Kensington's Dynamic Allocation Strategy takes a tactical approach to asset allocation by shifting between equities and defensive positions like cash or US Treasuries based on market signals. Designed to help mitigate drawdowns during volatility while capturing upside, the strategy offers an adaptive alternative to traditional buy-and-hold investing.
Quarter in Review:
Markets opened 2025 with early gains before a late-month selloff in AI-linked tech reversed momentum. Dynamic Allocation began the year Risk-On but quickly pivoted to cash equivalents. In February, renewed global growth concerns and trade tensions drove markets lower. The strategy remained defensive, preserving capital through cash and short-term Treasuries. March brought further losses as broad-based tariffs triggered sharp selloffs. Kensington's continued defensive posture outperformed the S&P 500. A rare "oversold buy" signal in April-its first since March 2020-prompted a return to full equity exposure, exemplifying the strategy's disciplined risk management.
