*Preliminary. The separately managed account products listed in these tables generated the highest performance for the quarter ended March 31. Rankings are based on performance reported to the PrimaGuide research application by May 3. In case of ties, products are listed alphabetically. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and advisers should rely on additional factors when determining whether to include SMAs in their client portfolios. The PrimaGuide SMA universe isn’t intended to be all-inclusive but rather represents a diversified group of products that are available to, and suitable for, the affluent retail investor.
