CHICAGO, March 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Zacks Rank Strategy has made PSN's Top Guns of the Decade in the All Cap Core Equity Universe. This rank was awarded to the top ten performing firms in their peer group for the ten year period ending December 31st, 2010. This new accolade for the Rank Strategy from PSN is in addition to the distinction the Rank Strategy won just one short year ago for Manager of the Decade. These recurrent recognitions for our flagship strategy is a testament to our superior strategy performance, and came as no surprise given our strict adherence to a fundamental investing philosophy based on earnings. Generating strong returns in volatile market environments, such as these, requires discipline, skill and adherence to a stock selection philosophy. Today, accolades rewarding investment managers, who unearth opportunities in the equities market, are few and far between.
