Buyside Digest is not affiliated with, and does not endorse, TimesSquare Capital Management U.S. FOCUS Growth Equity strategy. This analysis is provided for institutional research purposes only and is not investment advice.
"TimesSquare's FOCUS Growth Strategy faced short-term underperformance in 2Q25 due to index benchmark composition changes but continues to execute its high-conviction growth strategy by balancing secular AI exposure with resilient, defensive consumer and industrial holdings."
During 2Q25, the FOCUS Growth Strategy underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index, largely dragged down by the impact of not owning Palantir before its index removal. The macroeconomic environment was highly volatile, influenced by US tariff proposals and legislative spending cuts (specifically to Medicaid). However, equity markets marched higher, with growth outperforming value. TimesSquare's management responded by adjusting its strategy's purchase market-cap guidelines post-reconstitution, raising the upper limit to $64 billion. The portfolio remains focused on fundamental stock selection, capitalizing on secular themes like AI and data centers while managing risk through selective trimmings and additions on price pullbacks.
