"Hardman Johnston Large Cap Equity returned 6.01% net in Q3 2025, lagging the tech-heavy S&P 500. The manager is constructive on the economy and actively deploying capital into neglected growth areas outside the crowded AI trade."
In Q3 2025, the Hardman Johnston Large Cap Equity Composite returned 6.01% net, underperforming the S&P 500's 8.12% return, which remains heavily driven by a small group of highly concentrated IT stocks. Hardman Johnston remains cautiously optimistic about the underlying economy, viewing monetary easing and upcoming 2026 tax policies as supportive. Strong performance was driven by AI infrastructure plays such as Advanced Energy, Prysmian, and Vertiv, while detractors included Corteva, Vertex, and Marsh & McLennan. Portfolio changes during the quarter included initiating a position in Estee Lauder and liquidating Safran and Atlassian.
