"The fund delivered a solid 12.06% return in Q3 2025, driven by strong gains in AI-enabling semiconductor hardware, but slightly underperformed its benchmark due to conservative software guidance. The manager remains firmly committed to long-term tech growth trends like AI while actively managing macro and tariff risks."
In Q3 2025, the Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund (Institutional Class) returned 12.06%, slightly underperforming the S&P Global 1200 Information Technology Index-Net benchmark which returned 12.82%. Equity markets were supported by robust earnings, persistent AI enthusiasm, and anticipation of Fed interest rate cuts. Strong performance contributors included Astera Labs, Robinhood, NVIDIA, and Broadcom. Software holdings, including The Trade Desk, Accenture, Salesforce, and ServiceNow, detracted due to conservative forward-looking guidance and tariff worries. The fund remains constructive on the long-term multi-decade outlook for AI and technological innovation while actively monitoring macroeconomic risks like trade wars, potential capex slowdowns, and increased regulatory scrutiny.
