"Baron Health Care Fund outperformed its healthcare benchmark in Q3 2025, led by strong biotech stock selection. The manager utilized market volatility to selectively add 16 new positions, prioritizing durable growth compounders with clear secular advantages."
In Q3 2025, Baron Health Care Fund returned 5.39% (Institutional Shares), outperforming the Russell 3000 Health Care Index's 5.05%. Relative gains were driven by excellent stock selection in biotechnology (e.g., argenx, Insmed), while health care equipment and life science tools detracted. The portfolio underwent active rebalancing: 16 new positions were added (including AbbVie, UnitedHealth, and Roivant) and 5 were exited (such as Waters Corp due to dilutive M&A). Despite macro pricing uncertainty, the manager maintains strong structural conviction in the health care sector.
