"The fund faced headwinds from a speculative, momentum-driven market in 2025, lagging its benchmark, but enters 2026 with a disciplined focus on high-quality growth compounders and potential tailwinds from rate cuts."
The iMGP Small Company Fund gained 1.33% in Q4 2025, lagging the Russell 2000 Index's 3.26% return. For the full year, the fund returned 0.01% compared to 12.81% for the index. Underperformance was largely driven by style factors, notably underexposure to momentum and high-beta speculative rallies (such as biotech). Sub-managers DF Dent and SBH highlight strong performance from top holdings like Perimeter Solutions (PRM) and Amkor Technology (AMKR), while detailing turnarounds in detractors like Advance Auto Parts (AAP). Looking to 2026, the managers see positive potential from tax cuts and rate reductions, while emphasizing refined processes to exit underperforming assets more rapidly.
