"ClearBridge All Cap Growth Strategy lagged its benchmark in Q4 2025 due to underweight mega-cap tech positions and healthcare selection, but actively deployed capital into three new resilient compounders: Airbus, Linde, and Hilton."
Executive Summary
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the ClearBridge All Cap Growth Strategy underperformed the Russell 3000 Growth Index benchmark. Performance was negatively impacted by underweight positions in mega-caps Alphabet and Apple, alongside weak selection in communication services (Netflix, Doximity) and healthcare (lack of Eli Lilly). This underperformance was partially offset by strong relative gains from Vertex, Freeport-McMoRan, and Natera. The fund initiated three new major positions during the quarter: Airbus, Linde, and Hilton. Management remains constructive on long-term AI trends but is emphasizing balance and risk-adjusted positioning as market dispersion and volatility rise.
