"Baron Partners Fund posted a stellar 13.17% return in Q3 2025, powered by Tesla's 40% surge. The managers trimmed their massive Tesla stake for risk controls but maintain deep, long-term conviction in their AI and secular growth holdings."
Baron Partners Fund reported a strong Q3 2025 return of 13.17% (Institutional Shares), handily beating the Russell Midcap Growth Index (2.78%). Tesla was the primary driver (+40.22%), leading the fund to prudently trim 16% of its position purely to manage concentration risk. The manager remains highly optimistic about Tesla's autonomous software transition, alongside SpaceX's continued orbital and Starlink scaling. While AI-related fears created headwinds for holdings like Gartner and FactSet, Baron argues that their proprietary data makes them core beneficiaries rather than victims of AI automation.
