"Though hindered by a temporary software sector sell-off and rotation into cyclicals, the fund's software names materially outperformed their peers. The managers remain firmly committed to their high-conviction, AI-resilient 'Exceptional Growth Companies' strategy."
In Q3 2025, the International All Company Fund (Investor shares) declined 4.46%, underperforming the MSCI World ex-US Growth-Net Index's return of 2.84%. Year-to-date performance reached 6.67%, trailing the benchmark's 19.32%. Underperformance was driven by a temporary market rotation into cyclicals, metals & mining, and macro rate trades, combined with broader weakness in the software sector (which represents 20-25% of the portfolio). Despite general software pressure, the fund's software holdings outperformed benchmark software peers by 710 basis points on a weighted basis, showing resilience amid AI-disruption fears. Key performance contributors included Shopify (strong global sales and customer additions) and CyberArk (acquired by Palo Alto Networks for $25 billion). Detractors included Monday.com and MonotaRO, both of which the manager views as fundamentally sound long-term compounders experiencing temporary operational transitions or difficult YoY comps. No new additions or deletions were made to the portfolio during the quarter.
