"Hood River New Opportunities Fund strongly outperformed its benchmark by 924 bps in Q3 2025. Moving into Q4, the fund has moderated its AI exposure to achieve a more balanced portfolio profile while remaining highly constructive on the SMID growth landscape."
The Hood River New Opportunities Fund (Institutional Share Class) delivered a robust return of +19.97% for Q3 2025, outperforming the Russell 2500 Growth Index by 924 basis points. Stock selection was the primary performance driver (+848 bps), led by the Information Technology sector (+970 bps). The managers highlight a constructive macro outlook for SMID caps, noting that tariffs have settled at manageable levels and further Fed rate cuts should support growth equities. Valuations are attractive, with the Russell 2500 Growth Index trading at ~23x 2026 earnings, on par with the S&P 500 despite its historical premium. Entering Q4, the fund has reduced its active 'AI tilt' to adopt a more sector-balanced profile, while maintaining concentrated exposure to companies demonstrating tangible earnings power from AI adoption and infrastructure demand.
