Quick Take
"TimesSquare's U.S. Mid Cap Growth strategy lagged the benchmark in 4Q25 due to a low-quality market bias but remained ahead for the full year, positioning actively for 2026 tailwinds."
Executive Summary
TimesSquare's U.S. Mid Cap Growth Composite (Net) fell by -4.68% during 4Q25, underperforming the Russell Midcap Growth Index (-3.70%), but finished the year ahead of the benchmark with a 9.36% return. Global equity markets experienced a volatile quarter with regional frictions and tariff discussions. The manager active rebalanced the portfolio, exiting structurally challenged names in insurance and construction (Allstate, Pool, Carlisle) and taking advantage of market pullbacks to increase exposure to high-conviction growth assets (Take-Two, Axon, Snowflake).
