"GROW Funds delivered exceptional Q3 2025 returns (+18% to +25% net) by tilting towards undervalued small/mid-cap healthcare and AdTech innovators while strictly avoiding mega-cap AI valuation traps."
Executive Summary
GROW Funds LLC posted strong net returns of +18% to +25% in Q3 2025, outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth (+12%) and Russell 2500 Growth (+7%). The managers are constructive on the market, citing the Federal Reserve's 25 bps rate cut on September 17th as a strong historical tailwind for small-cap equities. The fund has rotated into an overweight healthcare position to combine offensive and defensive properties. They express valuation and structural skepticism regarding mega-cap AI investments, drawing parallels to dot-com era vendor financing. Specific updates include high conviction in MDxHealth (MDXH), Xeris Pharmaceuticals (XERS), and Zeta Global (ZETA), while completely exiting Elutia Inc. (ELUT) due to a highly disappointing product sale price and subsequent poor capital allocation decision by its management.
