"Despite strong fundamental earnings growth, Burke Wealth Management underperformed in Q3 2025 due to a painful selloff in software and cable. The fund proactively liquidated Charter to fund a new 3% position in Micron, while remaining highly optimistic about the US macro growth framework and nuclear power demand for AI."
In Q3 2025, Burke Wealth Management's Focused Growth Composite returned -0.9% net of fees compared to +8.1% for the S&P 500. Underperformance was primarily driven by multiple compression in enterprise software (Salesforce, ServiceNow) and cable (Comcast, Charter), despite strong underlying portfolio fundamentals (Q2 portfolio revenue and EPS grew 19% and 21% respectively). The manager defends the SaaS model against AI-disruption fears, pointing out stable renewal rates and transitioning pricing models. In cable, the firm accepted that declining broadband subscriber trends represent a structural headwind, leading to the liquidation of Charter Communications. Capital was redeployed into Micron Technology (3% position) to leverage structural AI demand in high-bandwidth memory. On the positive side, ASML and BWX Technologies contributed strongly, bolstered by nuclear power demand for data center buildouts and semiconductor capital investment. The fund is constructive on equity performance moving forward under the new US pro-growth policy framework.
