"The Optimum Large Cap Growth Fund returned 16.71% net of fees in 2Q2025, lagging its benchmark's 17.84% return due to underweight allocations in Information Technology."
During the second quarter of 2025, the Optimum Large Cap Growth Fund (OILGX) recorded a gain of 16.71% (net of fees), underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 17.84%. The broader US equity market experienced a strong rebound in 2Q 2025 following a challenging first quarter. This recovery was fueled by several key macroeconomic factors, including stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, rapid expansion in artificial intelligence (AI), moderating inflation, and resilient economic data. Notable market volatility arose early in the quarter due to hawkish tariff announcements, but anxiety subsided after President Trump paused the implementation of higher tariffs on most nations and introduced various exemptions. The benchmark's performance was led by the Utilities (+64.26%) and Information Technology (+25.05%) sectors, while Energy (-9.66%) and Healthcare (-1.98%) lagged. Within the fund, the American Century sub-advised sleeve underperformed the index, negatively impacted by an underweight allocation to IT software, although it benefited from solid stock selection in consumer discretionary specialty retail. The Los Angeles Capital Management sub-advised sleeve performed in line with the index, aided by strong stock selection in industrials (specifically aerospace & defense), but was also detracted by an underweight position in IT.
