"The Strategy actively repositioned into high-conviction AI infrastructure, resilient Canadian retailers, and structurally superior banks to navigate a heavy value-driven rotation and capitalize on a weakening U.S. dollar."
During the third quarter of 2025, the ClearBridge International Growth ADR Strategy underperformed its core MSCI EAFE benchmark due to style headwinds (value outperforming growth) and specific drags in financials. However, it outperformed its secondary MSCI EAFE Growth benchmark. The portfolio managers executed high-conviction repositioning during the quarter, adding 11 new positions and exiting 12. Key moves included a complete restructuring of banking exposure (adding Banco Santander, HSBC, and KBC Group while exiting BBVA and HDFC Bank) and increasing geographic weightings to Canada (Celestica, Dollarama, Loblaw) and emerging markets like China. Strong positive performance contributions came from healthcare biotechs (Argenx and UCB) and industrial holdings, while IT and financials positions acted as relative detractors. The fund remains highly constructive on non-U.S. equities, citing double-digit EPS growth projections in Europe and a weakening U.S. dollar as strong macro tailwinds.
