Hood River Capital - New Opportunities Fund

Investor Summary

The Hood River New Opportunities Fund is managed by co-founders Brian P. Smoluch and David G. Swank, both born in 1972 and graduates of the University of Virginia with MBAs from Harvard Business School and Dartmouth's Tuck School respectively. Both co-founded Hood River Capital Management in 2013 after extensive experience in small and mid-cap growth investing, with Smoluch serving as CEO and Swank as President. The fund launched on August 5, 2024, and has delivered exceptional performance with institutional shares returning 35.76% for one year and 51.20% annualized inception-to-date returns. The management team employs thorough fundamental analysis, engaging with company management, competitors, customers, and suppliers to identify high-conviction opportunities in the relatively inefficient small and mid-cap market space.

Fund Strategy

Hood River Capital Management focuses on generating consistent and persistent outcomes for small- and mid-cap growth investors, believing that U.S. and international small- and mid-cap markets are relatively inefficient, creating opportunities for research-driven value creation. Research is at the core of their investment process, with the firm constructing portfolios of high-quality companies expected to grow earnings faster than the market, trade at attractive valuations, and demonstrate a high likelihood of exceeding Wall Street forecasts. The New Opportunities Fund employs stock selection driven by proprietary fundamental research, maintaining a long-only portfolio of 80-120 growth stocks, with a company becoming a purchase candidate only if portfolio managers are convinced there is a catalyst in place to provide at least 15% stock price appreciation over the next 12 months.

56.94%	28.88%	31.77%

Executive Summary

The Hood River New Opportunities Fund returned +28.88% in Q2 2026, outperforming the Russell 2500 Growth Index by +486 bps, bringing year-to-date returns to +31.77% versus the benchmark's +20.66%. Stock selection was the primary driver, contributing +333 bps of alpha in the quarter, led by information technology, financials, and energy. The fund maintains selective exposure to AI infrastructure, emphasizing companies with tangible demand exposure rather than broad thematic positioning, grounded in continued hyperscaler capital expenditure. Within industrials, defense-oriented businesses benefiting from structural changes in government procurement and next-generation capabilities remain a focus, despite recent valuation compression. The macro backdrop evolved as Federal Reserve communication became incrementally more hawkish, though the managers do not view aggressive tightening as the most likely outcome. Valuations have firmed modestly, with the Russell 2500 Growth Index trading at 23.9x 2027E earnings. The managers continue their research-intensive process, seeking company-specific opportunities where estimates differ from consensus, with no sector representing more than 400 bps over or underweight relative to the benchmark.

Core Thesis

The fund seeks to identify small-cap and mid-cap growth businesses with durable growth profiles, improving fundamentals, and attractive valuations through a disciplined, bottom-up research process, believing that long-term investment outcomes are ultimately driven by company execution, earnings power, and fundamental progress rather than macroeconomic forecasts.

Forward Outlook

The managers remain grounded in their research-intensive, bottom-up process as they move into the second half of 2026. They continue to identify company-specific opportunities where their estimates differ meaningfully from consensus expectations. The team continues to engage extensively with management teams, evaluate changing industry conditions, and seek to identify mispriced opportunities with durable growth potential. The valuation environment reinforces the importance of selectivity, and the managers believe that elevated dispersion, AI-driven concentration of growth, and periodic disconnects between share prices and business fundamentals create a backdrop in which active stock selection can be especially valuable.
