"TimesSquare's U.S. FOCUS Growth Strategy posted a solid net return of 3.78% in Q3, outperforming its benchmark index. The fund navigated a high-beta, risk-on environment by pruning weaker positions and rotating selectively into high-conviction growth and cyclical opportunities."
In 3Q25, TimesSquare's U.S. FOCUS Growth Strategy returned 3.78% (net), outperforming the Russell Midcap Growth Index's 2.78% return. The broader market experienced a risk-on quarter, with the highest factor returns coming from high-beta, low-earning, and micro-cap stocks. The manager reports emerging sustainability concerns (or 'cracks') in AI infrastructure spending, with capex-to-sales ratios nearing dot-com peak levels, although software demand remains robust. Key portfolio activity during the quarter included adding to CyberArk Software (which subsequently received an acquisition bid), establishing new positions in Interactive Brokers and Carpenter Technology, trimming Verisk Analytics on acquisition dilution concerns, and fully liquidating Gartner and RenaissanceRe to focus capital on higher-conviction ideas.
