Executive Summary
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Hood River New Opportunities Fund (Institutional Share Class) returned +23.39%, outperforming the Russell 2500 Growth Index by 1,208 bps. Outperformance was primarily driven by stock selection, particularly in financials (+581 bps), industrials (+308 bps), and information technology (+233 bps). In the macroeconomic environment, Q2 stood in stark contrast to Q1's turbulence, with inflation easing, steady demand, and manageable supply chain disruptions. Sector-wise, the fund is overweight industrials (+513 bps) and underweight consumer discretionary (-470 bps) as they monitor lower-end consumer softness. Going into the second half of 2025, the fund is positioned to capture gains from attractive SMID Cap Growth valuations and positive earnings revision dynamics.
