"The Baron Global Opportunity Fund posted a strong 27.53% gain in 2025, powered by SpaceX's revaluation and a structured approach to the ongoing AI infrastructure and adoption wave."
Executive Summary
In the quarterly letter ending December 31, 2025, Baron Global Opportunity Fund reported an excellent calendar year, up 27.53% (Institutional Shares), outperforming the MSCI ACWI Index. Strong performance was driven by the revaluation of SpaceX (due to a new funding round) and strong stock selection in Health Care (argenx) and IT. The fund experienced macro headwinds from tariff announcements early in the year, which later abated following policy adjustments. Management remains deeply constructive on the AI revolution, categorizing beneficiaries into Builders, Providers, Adopters, and Physical AI. Key portfolio actions during the quarter included buying back Amazon, adding to TSMC, CrowdStrike, and Netskope, and completely exiting BILL Holdings and Endava due to loss of conviction.
