"Significantly beating its index, and actively reallocated capital into new names like Ingersoll Rand and Quanta Services while highlighting Toast as a core asymmetric compounder."
Executive Summary
NZS Growth Equity returned +19.39% Net in Q2 2025, outperforming the Morningstar Global Target Market Exposure Index (+11.41%). Outperformance was driven by top contributors Amphenol, TSMC, Cadence, NVIDIA, and Cloudflare. No sectors detracted from returns. The fund took advantage of Q2 volatility to reallocate capital, exiting Microsoft and Copart to initiate positions in Ingersoll Rand, Quanta Services, and SailPoint. A deep-dive discussion highlights focus position Toast (TOST) as a top vertical software player with powerful local network effects and margin upside exceeding 40% over time.
