"Sands Capital's Global Growth strategy posted an exceptional 21.7% net return for Q2 2025, actively repositioning capital away from stagnant growth stories like Nike and Airbnb into higher-conviction opportunities in AI, premium sportswear, and healthcare IT."
In Q2 2025, the Global Growth strategy delivered a robust 21.7% net return, outperforming its benchmark by 10.2%. Market volatility early in the quarter, sparked by US tariff announcements, quickly gave way to a strong rally driven by AI optimism and resilient corporate earnings. The portfolio team initiated new positions in Carlisle Companies, Intercontinental Exchange, On Holding, and Pro Medicus, while completely exiting Airbnb, Nike, and Zalando to reallocate capital into higher-conviction, faster-growing secular themes. Balance sheets remain strong, with only one portfolio company currently unprofitable, down from seven in 2020.
