"The Small Cap Select Composite posted a 2.04% net return for Q4, bringing full-year net returns to 11.67%. The managers remain constructive on equities, pivoting toward cyclical sectors amidst stable macroeconomic backdrops and secular AI trends."
In Q4 2025, Kennedy Capital Management's Small Cap Select Composite delivered a 2.04% net return (2.21% gross), slightly trailing the Russell 2000 Index return of 2.19%. For the full year 2025, the fund generated an 11.67% net return compared to 12.81% for the benchmark. Information Technology was the strongest contributor, driven by analog semiconductor strength, while Materials was the weakest sector due to specific operational headwinds in education and programmatic advertising holdings. The fund remains constructive, tilting slightly toward cyclical sectors, supported by a resilient economy, falling interest rates, and stable inflation dynamics.
