Executive Summary
During 2Q 2025, the BBH Select Series - Mid Cap Fund increased 5.44%, underperforming the Russell Midcap Index's gain of 8.53%. Performance was driven by top contributors Guidewire Software (+25.7%) and Shift4 Payments (+21.3%), while being dragged down by Watsco (-12.6%) and Globant (-22.8%). The fund took decisive actions to manage macro risks, completely exiting positions in Toro Co. and Crown Holdings due to tariff sensitivities. Profits were also trimmed from highly valued positions. Reinvestments were concentrated in high-conviction compounders like Globant, Shift4, and ICON plc. whose valuations became highly attractive following overdone market reactions to short-term political and funding headwinds. The fund ended the quarter holding 28 companies, trading at an aggregate 87% of estimated intrinsic value, with a 4.4% cash balance.
