"Harbor Mid Cap Fund posted a modest 4.19% gain in Q2 2025, underperforming its benchmark due to strong momentum headwinds, but remains structurally anchored in high-quality, undervalued compounders."
In Q2 2025, the Harbor Mid Cap Fund returned 4.19% (Institutional Class), underperforming its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Index, which advanced 8.53%. Momentum-driven trading headwinds in Industrials and Tech negatively impacted performance, though the fund benefited from stock selection in Consumer Staples and Real Estate. Positive absolute returns were led by Woodward Inc. and Arrow Electronics, while CBRE Group detracted due to client decision-making delays caused by tariff noise. The subadvisor remains constructive, leveraging market volatility to add to high-conviction, high-quality mid-cap compounders.
