CHICAGO, March 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Zacks Quantitative Strategy has made PSN's Top Guns List with top distinctions in the All Cap Core Equity Universe. This rank was awarded to the top ten performing firms in their peer group for the quarter ending December 31st, 2010. The recent breakout performance from our Quantitative Strategy generated a lot of attention, once again proving that this aggressive strategy can deliver superior results to our private client group. Generating strong returns, especially in another year of high market volatility, once again places the Strategy in the spotlight, and for good reason. Market environments such as these require discipline, skill and adherence to a quantitative, stock selection philosophy void of emotional investing.
