"Driehaus Small Cap Growth outshone its benchmark by 467 bps in Q3 2025, driven by surging small-cap corporate earnings and powerful structural tails from AI infrastructure and utility capex expansion."
In Q3 2025, the Driehaus Small Cap Growth strategy appreciated 16.86% (net), outperforming its Russell 2000 Growth benchmark by 467 basis points. The broader market environment remained highly favorable, supported by a growing economy, falling interest rates, and positive earnings revisions. Small-cap corporate earnings have accelerated and are beating expectations by the largest margin since early 2022. The fund's performance was driven by strong relative gains in technology and healthcare. Driehaus remains heavily positioned in sectors levered to multi-year AI infrastructure spending (hyperscaler capex) and the corresponding expansion of electricity/utility grids, while maintaining underweights in software, financials, and overall healthcare.
