"The TimesSquare U.S. FOCUS Growth Strategy navigated a complex macro environment in 4Q25, finishing the year with a net return of 13.88%, well ahead of the Russell Midcap Growth Index. The manager remains constructive on company-level fundamentals, expecting catalysts from AI adoption and tax changes to drive capital spending in 2026."
TimesSquare's U.S. FOCUS Growth Strategy reported a -3.76% net return for 4Q25, slightly lagging its gross composite (-3.55%) but ending the full year ahead of the Russell Midcap Growth Index benchmark at 13.88% net. Throughout the quarter, global equity markets advanced amidst complex central bank easing, tariff discussions, and regional geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and Venezuela. In the portfolio, positive contributions and steady outlooks were highlighted in Financials (TPG), Healthcare (Cencora), and IT (Amphenol), while near-term pullbacks in HubSpot, Veeva, and O'Reilly were attributed to elevated expectations or transitory headwinds. Looking to 2026, the fund is positioned to capture opportunities in AI acceleration, defense stockpiling, and consumer tax reform tailwinds.
