"Sequoia Fund outperformed the market in 2025 with a 22.13% return. The letter details how the managers balanced valuation discipline and conviction across core positions, and lists key new purchases in MSA Safety, Accenture, and Align Technology."
In its January 2026 letter, Sequoia Fund reports outperformance in 2025 with a 22.13% return versus the S&P 500's 17.88%. The Investment Committee emphasizes 'wisdom' over intelligence, using its decisions to hold/trim stellar performers Rolls-Royce and Alphabet, and the headwinds faced in managed care holdings (UnitedHealth and Elevance), as examples. The fund notes historically high concentration in the S&P 500, and reports adding three new positions—MSA Safety, Accenture, and Align Technology—while exiting Jacobs Solutions and trimming several high-performing assets due to valuation and sizing.
