Quick Take
"Alger Mid Cap Focus Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q3 2025, powered by strong performances in AI networking, fintech, and clean energy holdings, while maintaining high conviction in secular growth themes."
Executive Summary
In Q3 2025, the Alger Mid Cap Focus Fund (Class A) outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index. Positive returns were driven by Robinhood, Talen Energy, and Astera Labs, all of which posted strong operational results and capitalized on secular tailwinds like AI infrastructure and fintech wealth expansion. Detractors included Wingstop, Constellation Software, and Axon Enterprise, which suffered from profit-taking, leadership changes, or broader industry slowdowns, though the manager maintains long-term positive views on their core businesses. The market was buoyed by easing inflation, solid earnings, a Fed rate cut, and fiscal incentives like the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'.
