"Renaissance Large Cap Growth underperformed benchmarks in Q3 2025, but capitalization on AI-driven winners like AppLovin and active rotation (buying Tapestry, selling Cintas) support a constructive forward outlook."
During 3Q2025, the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 Growth posted strong returns of 8.1% and 10.5% respectively, led by Information Technology, Communications, and Utilities. Renaissance Investment Management's Large Cap Growth strategy underperformed both benchmarks during the quarter. Portfolio performance was heavily boosted by AppLovin, Comfort Systems USA, and Alphabet. Conversely, Gartner and Fiserv were the main detractors. Major portfolio alterations included establishing a new position in Tapestry, Inc. and entirely liquidating the long-term holding in Cintas due to valuation and growth deceleration concerns. The manager maintains a constructive outlook on equities, supported by historical market strength indicators, expected Fed rate cuts, and robust corporate earnings growth forecasts for 2025 and 2026.
