"BBH Select Mid Cap ETF underperformed in Q4 due to a persistent market rally in speculative, unprofitable companies, but the manager remains highly confident in its low-leverage, high-quality portfolio trading at 82% of intrinsic value."
During Q4 2025, the BBH Select Mid Cap ETF decreased -3.86% on a NAV basis, underperforming the Russell Midcap Index which increased 0.2%. For the full year 2025, the Fund fell -5.64% vs a 10.60% increase for the Index. This underperformance was driven by a low-quality market rally where unprofitable and high-beta companies outperformed. Despite the difficult macro backdrop, BBH remains focused on cash-generative businesses with low leverage. Key Q4 actions included initiating a new position in Tradeweb Markets and exiting NVR Inc., alongside trimming ICON plc and adding to several high-conviction holdings including BJ's, ITT, Watsco, and Wyndham Hotels.
