Each quarter, Broadridge Lipper releases its “Best Money Managers” ranking, a comprehensive survey of institutional money managers. While Curran Wealth Management received awards in 8 different categories for the awards quarter ending 9/30/2023, we want to highlight 4 awards in particular.
US Large Cap Growth & Value (3 Awards)
The Growth & Value universe encompasses two pillars that make up the bulk of US investors’ equity exposure. Growth stocks, those that are anticipated to grow at a rate significantly higher than the market average, and Value stocks, those that investors feel are trading below their value and typically pay a substantial dividend.
1. 20 Quarters (5 Years) Ending 9/30/2023 – Curran’s Core Growth Equity portfolio ranked 6th in a universe of 107 managed funds for the 5-year period with a rate of return (RoR) of 11.19%*. The average RoR for the funds in this category was 8.94%, while the S&P 500 Index (the index to which this category is benchmarked and measured against) returned 10.61%.

US Midcap Equity (1 Award)
The Midcap universe is made up of stocks believed to be in the middle of their growth curve, typically with a market value between $2 billion and $25 billion and includes all Midcap investment strategies regardless of their investment style. These strategies are often used to provide growth, diversification, and balance.
1. 40 Quarters (10 Years) Ending 9/30/2023 - Curran’s Midcap Core Growth Equity portfolio ranked 11th in a universe of 137 managed funds for the 10-year period with a rate of return (RoR) of 11.36%*. The average RoR for the funds in this category was 8.74%, while the Russell Midcap (the index to which this category is benchmarked and measured against) returned 8.99%.
