"The fund performed in-line with benchmarks this quarter while taking advantage of volatility to rotate capital into high-quality new AI/software initiatives, strongly refuting the narrative of an AI bubble."
Executive Summary
Baron Global Opportunity Fund gained 7.71% (Institutional Shares) in Q3 2025, in line with its benchmark. The letter focuses extensively on addressing the investor fear of an 'AI bubble' analogous to the 1999/2000 dot-com era. PM Alex Umansky provides concrete comparisons showing today's valuations (e.g., Mag 7 at ~32x vs. 104x in 2000) are highly rational, cash flows are robust, and infrastructure builders like NVIDIA and TSMC have unmatched pricing power. The fund actively reallocated capital, trimming winners like Shopify and argenx, while initiating three new positions: Netskope, Heartflow, and Figma.
