"Mar Vista's U.S. Quality strategy posted an impressive 12.40% net return in Q2 2025, beating benchmarks thanks to AI leaders, while proactively trimming selected positions and warning of a volatile, tariff-pressured second half."
Executive Summary
Mar Vista’s U.S. Quality strategy delivered a strong +12.40% net-of-fees return for Q2 2025, outperforming the S&P 500's +10.94% and Russell 1000's +11.10%. Performance was driven by top contributors Microsoft, Broadcom, and Oracle, capitalizing on robust AI and cloud infrastructure trends. Key detractors included Apple, Johnson & Johnson, and Berkshire Hathaway, with the latter experiencing a sell-off following Warren Buffett's retirement announcement. The fund initiated a position in GE Aerospace, citing its strong market share in narrowbody aircraft engines, while trimming Alphabet, HEICO, SAP, and Visa. Mar Vista warns of a more volatile second half of 2025, emphasizing the headwind of trade policy uncertainty and advocating for disciplined valuation risk management.
