"The Macquarie Large Cap Growth Fund underperformed a hyper-volatile, AI-driven market in 3Q25, returning 4.76% versus 10.51% for its benchmark. The fund continues to prioritize its high-quality discipline over momentum-chasing, selectively adjusting its portfolio with additions like AMD and Vulcan Materials."
For 3Q25, the Macquarie Large Cap Growth Fund delivered a positive return of 4.76% (Institutional) but underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which rose 10.51%. Underperformance was driven by a highly volatile, momentum-led 'rally of extremes' favoring low-quality and speculative stocks, combined with the fund's lack of exposure to Tesla and detractions from ICE and Intuit. The fund manager remains highly disciplined, drawing warning parallels to the 2000 tech bubble. Notable portfolio changes during the quarter included initiating positions in Vulcan Materials Co. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), and fully eliminating Equinix Inc.
