Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"Baird Chautauqua Funds stayed true to their high-quality growth focus during a volatile Q4, selectively rotating capital out of strong performers to add to high-conviction compounders amid macroeconomic divergence."
Executive Summary
In Q4 2025, global equity markets closed strong with international developed and emerging markets posting annual gains. The Baird Chautauqua Global Growth Fund outperformed its benchmark, returning +4.18% versus the MSCI ACWI Index's +3.29%, driven by strong selection in information technology (e.g., Micron). The International Growth Fund underperformed due to style rotations favoring value/cyclical stocks over quality growth, along with specific detractors in consumer discretionary and health care (such as Sea Limited and WuXi Biologics). The management team remains confident in their quality-growth philosophy and used the quarter's volatility to selectively trim strong performers and allocate capital to durable compounders.
