Executive Summary
The Baron Fifth Avenue Growth Fund finished 2025 up 18.15% (Institutional Shares), trailing its primary benchmarks slightly but outperforming the Morningstar Large Growth Category Peer Group. The year was marked by tariff-driven volatility in H1 followed by an AI-led expansion. The fund has leveraged this upcycle to expand investments in critical AI infrastructure enablers (NVIDIA, Broadcom, MPS) and highly adaptable software/e-commerce operators (Alphabet, Shopify, Coupang). The portfolio manager cautions that near-term multiples may contract but emphasizes that long-term fundamental value creation remains firmly intact.
