"ClearBridge's Large Cap Value Strategy outperformed in Q3 2025, aided by strong semiconductor selection. Portfolio managers have actively neutralized their AI underweight and introduced stricter KPI underwriting to mitigate volatility and capture broadening value opportunities."
In Q3 2025, the ClearBridge Large Cap Value Strategy outperformed its Russell 1000 Value Index benchmark, driven by positive contributions from 10 out of 11 sectors, with IT (specifically semiconductors), healthcare, and utilities leading performance. To address performance challenges over the prior 18 months, management executed strategic shifts: neutralizing the powerful 'AI trade' by establishing positions in TSMC and Amazon while scaling up Alphabet; decreasing positions in high-volatility names like Intel and Microchip Technology; and implementing tight, KPI-driven underwriting criteria (demonstrated by the complete exit of Novo Nordisk). The managers remain cautiously optimistic, anticipating that improving market breadth will shift capital flows from growth stocks into high-quality, undervalued businesses.
