"The Hood River Small Cap Growth Fund outperformed its benchmark by 1,076 bps in 2025, returning +23.77%. The managers are keeping a balanced posture for 2026, emphasizing relative valuation opportunities in small-caps while exercising caution and valuation discipline on AI-driven technology stocks."
The Hood River Small Cap Growth Fund returned +5.22% in Q4 2025, outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index by 400 bps, and closed the full year up +23.77% (+1,076 bps of alpha). Stock selection, mainly within Information Technology and Financials, drove the outperformance. Looking to 2026, the fund has moderated its tech exposure to balance the portfolio amid questions regarding the durability of AI capex. Despite absolute valuations being elevated, small cap growth appears relatively attractive compared to large caps, though high dispersion demands rigorous bottom-up selection.
