May 19, 2026
Los Angeles, California – May 19, 2026— L&S Advisors, Inc. 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 2026. The highly anticipated list, published by Zephyr, remains one of the most important references for investors and asset managers.
“Q1 2026 presented a dynamic market environment characterized by early uncertainty that intensified with geopolitical developments in late February, including military action in Iran, creating both challenges and opportunities for skilled active managers,” says PSN Product Manager Nick Williams. “PSN Top Guns managers excelled by navigating the quarter’s evolving landscape—from initial market hesitancy through the geopolitical shock and its ripple effects on energy markets—while positioning strategically amid persistent inflation concerns and shifting Fed expectations. Their ability to adapt quickly across asset classes while maintaining discipline throughout this volatile period demonstrates the distinct value of active management in SMAs. As markets transitioned from uncertainty to managing geopolitical risks and sticky inflation, these managers proved their worth by preserving capital during turbulent periods and strategically identifying opportunities as conditions evolved, delivering value when it mattered most.”
L&S Tactical Equity Opportunity, L&S Equity Growth, L&S Short-Duration Investment Grade, L&S High Yield and L&S Short-Duration High Yield are managed by Chief Investment Officer Rick Scott, Senior Analyst Heather Liu and Senior Analyst Edlyn Ruiz.
