"ClearBridge's Large Cap Growth Strategy lagged its benchmark due to extreme market divergence between AI winners and laggards, but actively repositioned by adding to infrastructure software AI leaders and cyclical names while exiting underperforming healthcare and application software positions."
During Q3 2025, the ClearBridge Large Cap Growth Strategy underperformed its benchmark due to underexposure to momentum-driven AI winners and holdings in application software and consulting firms deemed AI losers. In response, the managers actively upgraded the portfolio by initiating positions in infrastructure software leaders Oracle and Datadog, adding to Broadcom, and increasing exposure to early cyclical beneficiaries like Parker-Hannifin, Chipotle, and Starbucks. Conversely, they aggressively cut exposure to slowing software players and exiting several core healthcare/GLP-1 holdings including Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and UnitedHealth Group due to protracted turnarounds and market uncertainties. They remain committed to their disciplined, diversified, valuation-sensitive investment philosophy.
