Quick Take

"Small-cap growth manager outperformed significantly in Q3 with healthcare overweight strategy. Key holdings MDxHealth and Xeris Pharmaceuticals show strong revenue growth at attractive valuations."

Executive Summary

This small-cap growth manager delivered strong Q3 2025 performance of 18-25% net across portfolios, significantly outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth and Russell 2500 Growth indices. The manager has shifted toward an overweight position in healthcare, viewing it as both offensive due to new products addressing large markets and defensive given its nondiscretionary nature. Key contributors included MDxHealth, a prostate cancer diagnostics company growing revenue over 20% for 12 consecutive quarters while trading at a significant discount to peers, and Xeris Pharmaceuticals, which treats Cushing's Syndrome and projects $750 million in 2030 revenue. The manager remains cautious about AI investments by tech giants, comparing current partnerships to dot-com era vendor financing. With the Fed beginning rate cuts and small-cap valuations attractive relative to large-caps, they see continued opportunities for stock selection. Despite macroeconomic and political uncertainties, they believe company fundamentals will drive performance and maintain an optimistic outlook for their concentrated portfolio approach.
