"Mar Vista delivered a solid +6.41% return but lagged benchmarks in Q3 2025, exiting Adobe over long-term AI disruption risks while maintaining structural conviction in core AI-winners like Apple, Alphabet, and NVIDIA."
Mar Vista’s U.S. Quality Premier strategy returned +6.41% net-of-fees in Q3 2025, underperforming the S&P 500 (+8.12%) and Russell 1000 (+8.00%). Strong gains in Apple, Alphabet, and NVIDIA were offset by pullbacks in Intuit, SAP, and Moody's due to fears surrounding AI disruption of SaaS platforms. The fund completely exited Adobe, citing deteriorating risk-reward from AI-driven licensed seat erosion. Mar Vista notes that while AI infrastructure demand remains robust, the overall market is showing signs of speculative excess and heavy concentration. They are maintaining a cautious, diversified posture, prioritizing risk management, and looking to trim expensive names into market volatility.
