Quick Take
"Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q2 2025 with a 24.81% return, driven by dominant AI holdings like Nvidia and Broadcom. Despite macro tariff risks, the managers view AI as an early-stage, multi-decade secular growth engine."
Executive Summary
In Q2 2025, the Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund (Institutional Class) returned 24.81%, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P Global 1200 Information Technology Index-Net, which returned 23.66%. Active security selection was the key performance driver, notably through core positions in major AI beneficiaries like NVIDIA, Broadcom, Microsoft, and Oracle. Despite macro headwinds from tariff uncertainties and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East early in the quarter, markets rallied strongly as tariff policies became more lenient. Major detractors included Fiserv and Global Payments due to subdued growth fears, alongside T-Mobile and Apple. The fund's underweight stance in Apple proved a relative tailwind. The team maintains a highly constructive view on AI as a multi-decade secular tailwind while remaining alert to regulatory and tariff risks.
