Quick Take
"Invesco Discovery Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q2 2025 through strong stock selection in industrials and IT, while positioning itself to capture ongoing AI infrastructure buildout and industrial renewal."
Executive Summary
The Invesco Discovery Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, in the second quarter of 2025. This strong absolute and relative performance was primarily driven by solid stock selection, particularly in the industrials and information technology (IT) sectors, which was only partially offset by relative weakness in financials. On a macroeconomic scale, the Invesco US Growth Team maintains a constructive outlook for US equities, pointing to reduced uncertainty regarding administration policies and geopolitical conditions. Tariff negotiations have progressed, a major tax and spending bill passed shortly after quarter-end, a ceasefire occurred in the Middle East, and EU defense spending commitments are expected to strengthen NATO. Consequently, the team expects both GDP and corporate profits to grow in the second half of 2025 and into 2026. Structurally, the pace of AI-related innovation and infrastructure buildout remains highly robust, and industrial renewal continues to offer abundant investment opportunities. The fund remains focused on exposing shareholders to premier growth compounders, emphasizing the industrial, financial, IT, and consumer discretionary sectors. Key portfolio adjustments during the quarter included adding ExlService, ESCO Technologies, and Fabrinet, while exiting positions in Inspire Medical Systems, Flowserve, and AAON.
