"Alger Spectra Fund delivered a strong 15.97% return in Q3 2025, outperforming its benchmark through high-conviction exposure to key secular AI winners like AppLovin and NVIDIA."
Executive Summary
In Q3 2025, the Alger Spectra Fund (Class A) outperformed the Russell 3000 Growth Index, returning 15.97% (without sales charge) versus 10.41% for the benchmark. This strong performance was heavily driven by leading AI and software holdings, specifically AppLovin, NVIDIA, and Nebius. The broader market environment benefited from improving economic conditions and a pivotal shift by the Fed toward monetary easing with a 25-basis-point rate cut in September. Portfolios remain focused on secular digitization and AI themes, supported by accelerated business spending and the tax benefits of the One Big Beautiful Bill, despite observed macroeconomic pressures on lower-income consumers.
