"The Columbia Seligman Global Technology Fund posted a strong 19.52% return in Q2 2025, but lagged its benchmark's 23.18% surge primarily due to an underweight position in NVIDIA. The manager remains constructive on secular AI infrastructure and cybersecurity plays while managing headwinds from upcoming tariff resolutions and a potential macro slowdown."
For the second quarter of 2025, the Columbia Seligman Global Technology Fund's Institutional Class returned 19.52%, underperforming its benchmark (the MSCI World Information Technology Index), which returned 23.18%. Strong absolute returns across the sector were supported by a temporary 90-day pause on proposed U.S. tariffs. Overweight positions in Broadcom, Marvell, and Oracle, alongside an underweight in Apple, supported performance, while an underweight position in NVIDIA and Microsoft detracted from relative performance. The fund maintains a constructive posture on AI infrastructure and cybersecurity demand but is increasingly cautious regarding macroeconomic risks including GDP deceleration and fiscal deficit inflation.
