"Oak Ridge portfolios delivered strong absolute returns in 2025, navigating a major Q4 rotation into Healthcare and preparing for a more selective, broadening market in 2026 where valuation discipline and active management will be critical."
Executive Summary
Oak Ridge's Q4 2025 commentary reviews a year where major indices hit record highs despite political discord and a government shutdown. Inflation remained manageable, and the Fed cut rates three times in response to a softening labor market. While mega-cap Tech led market gains for much of 2025, Q4 saw a significant rotation into Healthcare, which drove strong absolute performance across several Oak Ridge strategies. The portfolios across Large Cap, Mid Cap, Small-Mid, and All Cap encountered various headwinds from high-flying speculative market leaders and selective sector pressures (such as Telecom and Industrials), leading to performance trailing or performing in line with benchmarks. Looking forward, the managers emphasize the importance of valuation discipline (using Walmart vs. Target and Cisco's historical bubble as examples) and expect a broadening, active-friendly market in 2026.
