"Brown Advisory Mid-Cap Growth returned 16.0% gross in Q2 2025, underperforming its benchmark's 18.2% return due to zero exposure to mega-cap contributor Palantir. The manager remains constructive, adding Cloudflare, Comfort Systems, and Voyager while recycling capital out of fully valued or high-tariff-risk names."
In Q2 2025, the Brown Advisory Mid-Cap Growth strategy returned 16.0% (gross), underperforming the Russell Midcap Growth Index's 18.2% return. This underperformance was almost entirely driven by not owning Palantir (PLTR), which drove 4 percentage points of the index's gain. Excluding Palantir, the portfolio outperformed its benchmark's small- and mid-cap segments. Over the quarter, the fund maintained its total holdings at 59 by exiting Entegris, Pinterest, and Guidewire, while initiating new positions in Cloudflare, Comfort Systems, and Voyager Technologies. The manager remains focused on securing high-conviction compounders exposed to favorable tailwinds like AI infrastructure and onshoring.
