"The Aristotle Core Equity Composite underperformed the S&P 500 in 3Q 2025, returning 7.10% net against the index's 8.12% due to selection drag in Financials and Staples. The fund rotated out of traditional software and onshore oil services, recycling capital into clean nuclear energy and energy tech levered to AI power demand."
During 3Q 2025, the Aristotle Atlantic Core Equity Composite underperformed the S&P 500 Index, posting a net return of 7.10% (7.22% gross) versus the index's return of 8.12%. Underperformance was primarily driven by negative security selection within the Financials and Consumer Staples sectors, which outweighed strong positive selection in Information Technology and Real Estate. The fund completed several major portfolio moves, adding Dexcom, Constellation Energy, and Baker Hughes, while exiting Becton Dickinson, ServiceNow, and Halliburton to align with secular tailwinds in AI data center power demand and manage seat-based software risk. The manager remains constructive on long-term equity performance supported by lower rates and corporate earnings, despite elevated valuations and tariff-related inflation risks.
