PSN Top Guns investment managers must claim that they are GIPS compliant. Products must have an R-Squared of 0.80 or greater relative to the style benchmark for the recent five-year period. Moreover, products must have returns greater than the style benchmark for the three latest three-year rolling periods. Products are then selected which have a standard deviation for the five-year period equal or less than the median standard deviation for the peer group.”
- “For the 6-Star category, the top ten information ratios for the latest five-year period then become the TOP GUNS. For the 5 Star awards, the top ten returns for the latest three-year period then become the TOP GUNS.”
