"Baird Chautauqua underperformed benchmarks in Q3 2025 but remains constructively positioned in high-quality, secular growth leaders, maintaining a cautious macro posture due to tariff-induced inflation risks and a cooling U.S. labor market."
In Q3 2025, Baird Chautauqua's International and Global Growth Funds underperformed their respective benchmarks. Global markets rallied, supported by rate cuts from the Federal Reserve and the resolution of immediate, highly punitive tariff threats in favor of a 15% to 17% stable tariff baseline. However, the portfolio managers maintain a cautious outlook as tariff costs begin to filter into core inflation indicators and the U.S. labor market shows signs of cooling. The managers have strategically adjusted the portfolios by trimming exposures in businesses like Alphabet, Mastercard, and Safran, and deploying capital into secular growth leaders experiencing temporary pullbacks, such as Novo Nordisk, Genmab, and Lululemon.
