Executive Summary
In Q2 2025, the TimesSquare U.S. Small Cap Growth Composite posted solid double-digit returns (11.02% Net) but lagged the Russell 2000 Growth Index benchmark. Markets faced significant economic tremors, particularly from U.S. tariff proposals and the Trump administration's newly passed budget bill. In response, many companies lowered guidance, creating potential opportunities for future outperformance. TimesSquare took advantage of volatility by executing selective entries (such as Chart Industries, Ollie's, and iRhythm), trimming high-flying positions (such as Credo and Kratos), and exiting names with deteriorating fundamentals (such as Vaxcyte and Kulicke & Soffa).
