"Baron Asset Fund outpaced its benchmark by 11.59% in Q4 2025, driven by private-market gains in SpaceX and xAI. The fund is actively repositioning into high-quality growth compounders like Repligen while trimming mature names."
Baron Asset Fund delivered strong performance in Q4 2025, returning 7.89% (Institutional Shares) and significantly outperforming the Russell Midcap Growth Index which fell 3.70%. Outperformance was driven by favorable stock selection, notably in private companies SpaceX and xAI. The fund reestablished a position in Repligen Corporation on strong secular bioprocessing tailwinds, trimmed mature positions like IDEXX and IDEX, and exited holdings in Dayforce and The Trade Desk due to PE buyout and competitive concerns respectively.
