"Keeping performance in-line with the benchmark YTD. The fund rotated capital out of NVIDIA and established new structural 'AI catch-up' positions in AMD, Alibaba, and Baidu to exploit valuation discrepancies."
WestEnd Capital's Core Strategy returned +3.9% net of fees in Q3 2025, lagging the S&P 500's +7.7% for the quarter, but remaining roughly in line with the index on a YTD basis (+13.20% vs. +13.72%). The fund highlights that current market concentration in large-cap tech is fundamentally supported by robust average ROEs of 29% and profit margins of 34%, distinguishing today's landscape from the 2000 dot-com bubble. The portfolio remains anchored in Technology (35.1% allocation) and Industrials (27%), with major tech holdings including AAPL, GOOGL, AMZN, and META. During the quarter, the fund exited NVIDIA and actively deployed capital into AI 'catch-up' opportunities—specifically AMD, Alibaba, and Baidu—which offer high operational leverage and market share upside. Looking forward, WestEnd advises investors to ignore short-term policy disruptions like the US government shutdown and stay focused on core secular tailwinds: AI adoption, infrastructure spending, and easing monetary conditions.
