"Broadleaf closes out 2025 with double-digit full-year gains, brushing off short-term Q4 underperformance and bubble fears to double down on the long-term secular growth potential of AI and rising corporate capex."
Broadleaf finished 2025 with strong 14.5% annual gains, although a negative Q4 (-1.8%) trailed the S&P 500. The manager remains firmly bullish on the structural AI theme, comparing it to the internet's early days and dismissing bubble-bursting alarmism. The letter outlines three investment cycles: a resilient Economic Cycle supported by AI capex but pressured by interest rates; an Innovation Cycle driven by AI-driven efficiency; and a resurgent Credit Cycle characterized by bank outperformance and corporate debt utilization. Looking ahead to 2026, the fund anticipates policy tailwinds from the Trump administration's upcoming bill and remains committed to its disciplined, concentrated growth strategy.
