"Bailard's Q3 2025 update reports a 9.36% net return, underperforming its benchmarks, while pivoting its technology allocation toward energy-efficient AI infrastructure and cybersecurity and taking profits in wafer fab equipment."
Executive Summary
For the third quarter of 2025, the Bailard Technology Strategy posted a return of 9.36% net of fees, trailing the S&P North American Technology Index (13.14%) and other industry benchmarks. Contributors were led by NVIDIA, AppLovin, and Lam Research, while detractors included Fiserv, Intuit, and Spotify. Portfolio adjustments focused on trimming AdTech exposure to fund core cybersecurity and AI development infrastructure, while hardware exposure saw builds in data center networking alongside profit-taking in wafer fab equipment. The letter highlights 'tokens per watt' as the governing metric for AI compute economics and underscores a cautious stance on government-exposed software and creative platforms vulnerable to AI disruption.
