"The Voya MI Dynamic Small Cap Fund underperformed the Russell 2000 Index in 4Q25 due to negative stock selection, but enters 2026 cautiously optimistic about a resilient economic soft landing and broadening market leadership."
Executive Summary
In 4Q25, the Voya MI Dynamic Small Cap Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, primarily due to negative stock selection within the communication services, information technology, and financials sectors. Detractors included underweighting Bloom Energy Corp. (which rallied on AI power demand) and overweighting Hudson Pacific Properties and GEO Group. Main positive contributors were Flowserve Corp., Amicus Therapeutics, and Fortrea Holdings. The team expects a resilient U.S. economy and a soft landing in 2026, though they advocate for caution and nimble positioning due to persistent geopolitical and policy risks.
