Executive Summary
The Loomis Sayles Global Growth Fund, managed by Aziz Hamzaogullari, delivered a robust performance for the quarter ending June 30, 2025. The fund posted a positive return of 16.61% (Class Y), outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Index Net, which returned 11.53%, representing an excess return of 5.08% for the quarter. YTD returns reached 12.71% against the benchmark's 10.05%. The primary drivers of this strong quarterly performance were Netflix, MercadoLibre, and Oracle, which served as the three largest contributors. Conversely, Trip.com, Yum China, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals were the largest detractors, though the portfolio manager remains highly confident in their long-term fundamentals and intrinsic value discounts. During the period, there were no new purchases made; however, the fund added to its existing position in LVMH due to near-term price weakness that presented an attractive risk-reward profile. The fund continues to operate with a low-turnover, long-term private equity approach, focusing on high-quality compounders with sustainable competitive advantages. At quarter-end, the fund was overweight in communication services, consumer discretionary, and healthcare, while remaining underweight in financials, information technology, consumer staples, and industrials, with an estimated overall portfolio discount to intrinsic value of approximately 45.1%.
