"The Meridian Small Cap Growth Fund returned 0.90% in Q4 2025, underperforming its benchmark. It remains committed to a downside-protected, quality-biased approach, maintaining a core conviction in undervalued healthcare assets."
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Meridian Small Cap Growth Fund returned 0.90% (net), underperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index's 1.22%. Despite macro-driven moderation, the portfolio benefited from its overweight allocation to healthcare, which was the quarter's primary contributor. Stock selection within IT detracted. Detractors included Consensus Cloud Solutions, Certara, and Remitly Global, all of which are viewed as fundamentally sound and attractively valued. Top contributors included Structure Therapeutics, Axogen, and Zenas BioPharma, supported by solid clinical trials and regulatory milestones. Moving into 2026, the fund is monitoring interest rate policy, the new Fed Chair appointment, and AI capex sustainability, while maintaining its consistent quality-first, risk-mitigating posture.
