"Burke Wealth Management posted a +15.9% return in Q2 2025, leveraging macro volatility to rotate capital out of cyclical assets like Airbnb and Novo Nordisk and into stable, moat-protected compounders like BWXT and Uber."
Executive Summary
Burke Wealth Management's Focused Growth Composite delivered a strong +15.9% return in Q2 2025, outperforming the S&P 500's +10.9%. The quarter was defined by macroeconomic volatility, geopolitical friction, and the ultimate passage of the 'Big Beautiful Bill' which permanently codifies 2017 corporate and personal tax cuts. In response to heightened volatility and cyclical risk, the manager systematically rotated capital. The fund exited economically sensitive positions, entirely selling Airbnb and Novo Nordisk (citing clinical trial disappointments and drug-pricing headwinds). Capital was deployed into highly stable compounders with structural tailwinds: BWX Technologies was added at a 3% weight to capture defense spending and AI-related nuclear energy demand, and Uber was added at a 4% weight for its mobility and global delivery dominance.
