Quick Take

"WestEnd Capital maintains concentrated Technology exposure as the key return driver while adding AI catch-up trades in AMD, Alibaba, and Baidu. The firm delivered positive Q3 performance despite underperforming the S&P 500, remaining roughly in line for the year."

Executive Summary

WestEnd Capital delivered positive performance in Q3 2025 as equity markets continued rallying, though the Core portfolio underperformed the S&P 500 during the quarter while remaining roughly in line for the year. The firm maintains Technology as its largest allocation, viewing it as the key driver of earnings and returns, while diversifying into structural growth themes including international stocks, industrials, aerospace, and defense. After a brief mid-year pause, AI enthusiasm has returned in full force, prompting WestEnd to add new positions in what they term AI catch-up trades. The firm opened positions in AMD, Alibaba, and Baidu while maintaining long-held positions in Palantir and Snowflake. These companies are positioned to benefit from enterprise AI adoption and global infrastructure buildout. Market leadership remains concentrated in select pockets, with the ten largest U.S. companies operating with 29% average return on equity and 34% net profit margins. Looking ahead, WestEnd focuses on durable growth drivers including artificial intelligence, infrastructure investment, and easing financial conditions while positioning for continued long-term growth.
