NCG Large Cap Growth Strategy

Investor Summary

Next Century Growth Investors was founded in November 1998 by Tom Press and has maintained consistent leadership with an experienced team managing the Large Cap Growth Strategy since January 1, 1999. The firm is led by Tom Press (Chairman/Founder), Bob Scott (CEO who joined in 2000), Peter Capouch (President who joined in 2003), and portfolio managers Kaj Doerring (28 years experience) and Tom Dignard. The team has over 100 years combined investment experience working together at NCG, with education from prestigious institutions including Harvard, Yale, and University of Minnesota. The firm is 80% owned by active portfolio manager partners, ensuring independence and alignment of interests. Operations are supported by Kelly McNulty as VP and Chief Compliance Officer with over 30 years of industry experience.

Fund Strategy

Next Century Growth Investors' philosophy has remained consistently focused on investing in high growth companies to create value for clients. The firm seeks to invest in the fastest growing and highest quality companies in America. For the Large Cap Growth Strategy specifically, they seek to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing in the fastest-growing and highest-quality companies in the US large cap growth universe. The firm believes the market inefficiently values high-quality companies with long-term growth opportunities, and that if portfolio companies execute as expected, they can compound stock value faster than the overall market. The investment approach is grounded in the belief that a portfolio consisting of high-quality growth companies, combined with a strong sell discipline, will lead to both compounding of portfolio value and better performance than the unmanaged index over the long-term.

ANNUALIZED SINCE INCEPTION	QUARTERLY	YTD
10.62%	-10.16%	-10.16%

Executive Summary

Next Century Growth Investors' large cap strategy declined 10.16% in Q1 2026, underperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index which fell 9.77%. The quarter was marked by heightened volatility driven by geopolitical tensions, particularly the U.S.-Iran conflict that disrupted energy supplies and drove oil prices higher. Large cap stocks, especially mega-cap growth names, faced renewed scrutiny over valuations and business momentum. The portfolio benefited from AI infrastructure investments including semiconductors and data center buildout, as well as aerospace and defense holdings supported by elevated global defense spending. However, traditional software holdings were caught in a sector-wide selloff amid concerns about AI native companies disrupting established SaaS businesses. The manager reduced software exposure while maintaining overweight positions in industrials with secular growth drivers. Looking ahead, they believe conditions favor continued market broadening and see opportunities in high-quality growth businesses with durable competitive advantages, emphasizing the value of active management during periods of elevated volatility and shifting leadership.

Forward Outlook

The investment environment presents a mix of near-term uncertainties and longer-term opportunities. U.S. economic growth remains resilient, supported by steady consumer spending, improving earnings trends, and the lagged benefits of monetary easing. Conditions remain favorable for continued market broadening, with small cap stocks trading at attractive valuations relative to large cap stocks. This environment reinforces the value of active management and fundamental research.
