"Davenport Core Leaders Fund outperformed the S&P 500 in Q2 2025 with an 11.13% return, driven by resilient earnings and easing macro anxieties. The managers are leveraging valuation spreads to buy high-quality cyclical and infrastructure leaders while trimming high-fliers."
Davenport Asset Management's Q2 2025 update reports a strong market recovery, with the S&P 500 gaining 10.94% as geopolitical tensions and tariff anxieties abated. The Davenport Core Leaders Fund (DAVPX) outperformed its benchmark, advancing 11.13% in Q2 and 7.26% YTD. The team initiated new positions in Quanta Services (PWR) and added to key compounders like UnitedHealth Group (UNH) and Analog Devices (ADI). Inflation has receded, laying the groundwork for Federal Reserve rate cuts, and corporate earnings remain highly resilient. The manager advises long-term investors to avoid knee-jerk reactions to sensationalized media headlines and to focus on the wide valuation spread between market winners and secular laggards.
