Orlando, FL—March 11, 2026— Abacus FCF Advisors 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 Q4 2025. The highly anticipated list, published by Zephyr, remains one of the most important references for investors and asset managers.
“These managers have successfully steered through transformative events such as the COVID-19 pandemic market crash, the Brexit referendum, the US-China trade war, the global sell-off of 2015-2016, and the AI Driven market this year”, says PSN Product Manager Nick Williams. “Their ability to adapt to evolving market conditions, strategically position across asset classes, and capture opportunities underscores the enduring importance of active management in delivering value to investors.” The Abacus FCF Leaders Strategy is a systematic equity strategy that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in U.S. companies demonstrating superior Free Cash Flow Return on Invested Capital (FCF-ROIC). The strategy employs a proprietary multi-factor model using cash-flow-based inputs rather than earnings-based metrics to reduce exposure to accounting discretion. The strategy is available through separately managed accounts and as an ETF ($ABFL: Abacus FCF Leaders ETF).
Through a combination of PSN’s proprietary performance screens, the PSN Top Guns awards products in six proprietary categories in over 75 universes based on continued performance over time.
Abacus FCF Advisors’ FCF Leaders strategy earned a PSN Top Guns Manager of the Decade award, meaning our strategy had an r-squared of 0.80 or greater relative to the style benchmark for the latest 10-year period. Moreover, the strategy’s returns were greater than the style benchmark for the last 10-year period and standard deviation less than the style benchmark for the latest ten-year period. At this point, the top ten performers for the latest 10-year period become the PSN Top Guns Manager of the Decade.
Manager Commentary
“Our Free Cash Flow Leaders Strategy seeks to outperform the Russell 3000 Index with lower volatility over the long term. The Manager of the Decade designation is a meaningful validation of that track record. Our process has delivered excess returns with less risk than the style benchmark across a full decade that included the pandemic, the most aggressive rate hiking cycle in 40 years, and the current AI-driven market.
While the second half of 2025 was challenging for not only our strategies but the broader quality investing space — J.P. Morgan confirmed quality posted the worst factor performance globally in Q4 — we remain dedicated to identifying free cash flow leaders that can navigate the full business cycle.
Investors in trending themes are often concerned about when the trend will reverse. The top five hyperscalers are projected to spend over $600 billion in capex in 2026, consuming roughly 90% of their operating cash flow. Investing in companies that are generating durable free cash flow, including those benefiting from this historic capital expenditure cycle, offers a fundamentally different proposition. Our strategy allows investors to participate in secular growth themes with the confidence that comes from owning capital compounders, not capital consumers.” Says Vince (Qijun) Chen, CFA, Portfolio Manager of the Strategy
