"The fund delivered a robust 16.4% net return in Q2 2025, narrowly trailing its benchmark due to mega-cap tech underweight, while initiating new high-conviction growth ideas in FICO and DraftKings."
During Q2 2025, the Brown Advisory Large-Cap Growth strategy returned 16.4% (net), slightly underperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index's 17.8% return. Performance was driven by strong gains in Communication Services (Netflix, The Trade Desk) and offset by relative underperformance in Information Technology due to an underweight in NVIDIA and not owning Broadcom or Apple. The strategy initiated positions in DraftKings and Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO), leveraging market volatility to invest in resilient models with distinct secular growth profiles.
