Perspectives

  • Embracing a Broadening Growth Market
    Large Cap Growth ESG 4Q25: Resurgent growth in the economy ex-tech from fiscal stimulus and easing monetary policy could lead to increased participation beyond AI such as in health care and short-cycle industrials.
  • Mega Cap Selectivity Pressures Results
    All Cap Growth 4Q25: The Strategy was hurt by allocation differences among our mega cap growth holdings as well as weak stock selection in communication services and health care.
  • Enduring Fast and Furious AI Market
    Large Cap Growth 4Q25: The Strategy meaningfully underperformed its benchmark, with underweights to mega cap and lower quality AI beneficiaries the main headwinds.
  • Large Cap Growth Monthly Update
    Large Cap Growth November 2025: Technology stocks led a growth selloff in a month that saw sentiment turn decidedly negative over the near-term payoff from AI spending as well as future funding concerns.
  • Large Cap Growth Monthly Update
    Large Cap Growth October 2025: Mega caps in the benchmark reported solid earnings results in October, with those directly involved in AI continuing to ramp up capex.
