Aug 27, 2020ROCHESTER, Mich. — Managed Asset Portfolios, LLC (MAP) has been awarded a Top Guns 6 Star1 designation for its U.S. Multi-Cap Composite for 2Q 2020 by Informa Investment Solutions’ PSN manager database, North America’s longest running database of investment managers. The award was received in both the All Cap Value Universe and U.S. Value Universe. Top Guns investment managers are awarded a rating ranging from 1 to 6 stars, with the number of stars representing continued performance over time.
Founder, President, and Chief Investment Officer Michael Dzialo attributes the continued success to “developing and maintaining portfolios that are highly focused and concentrated in specific areas. MAP is expressly not an index fund or a closet indexer. We are not opposed to being overweight what we like and underweight or totally absent from what we don’t like.”
This high-conviction global value composite is managed by the investment team of Michael Dzialo, Peter Swan, and Karen Culver and has been available to institutional and retail investors since 2001. The team has worked together closely for over 20 years, and that continuity has been vital to MAP’s consistent long-term performance. MAP is a disciplined global value manager that utilizes rigorous selectivity with respect to capitalization, geography, and sector, while being ever mindful to risk management.
Through a combination of Informa Investment Solutions’ proprietary performance screens, 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.

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable). Please note that the Morningstar rankings are for the I share classes only; other classes will have different performance characteristics due to different expense ratios.
