"NCG delivered strong outperformance in most growth strategies in 2Q25 as markets rallied. The firm is constructive on the corporate earnings trajectory and sees generational opportunities in small-cap valuations."
Next Century Growth (NCG) Investors posted strong positive absolute and relative performance in 2Q25, outperforming benchmarks in all major strategies (net of fees) except micro-cap. Despite initial volatility in April due to potential tariff announcements, the market staged a robust rally supported by strong earnings and solid macroeconomic data. NCG remains constructive on the forward outlook, highlighting stabilizing earnings estimates, potential interest rate cuts, and supportive domestic legislative drivers (like the OBBB). Additionally, the firm notes a historically significant valuation opportunity in small-caps, with small-to-large relative valuations currently in the 5th percentile.
