"The Meridian Growth Fund returned -1.78% in Q3 2025, severely lagging its benchmark's 10.73% gain as market factors heavily favored highly speculative, unprofitable AI and tech momentum stocks over the fund's quality-driven, lower-beta style."
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Meridian Growth Fund underperformed significantly, returning -1.78% (net) compared to 10.73% for the Russell 2500 Growth Index. This underperformance was driven by a challenging market environment characterized by extremely low downside volatility and investor preference for high-momentum, high-valuation, and high-beta companies (often lacking earnings), particularly within AI data center build-outs and semiconductors. The fund took write-downs and trimmed/reduced positions in underperforming or highly appreciated holdings (like Alight and Align Technology) while maintaining a strict, non-speculative, quality-oriented investment approach.
