"RVK's Q2 2025 peer group analysis shows institutional portfolios posted positive returns despite initial tariff-driven market volatility."

Executive Summary

This RVK Insights report provides Q2 2025 peer group performance analysis for institutional investment portfolios across various client categories including corporate, healthcare, public, and endowment funds. The quarter was dominated by US tariff policy negotiations which initially triggered sharp equity market declines and Treasury market dislocations. However, markets rebounded following an announced 90-day tariff pause and subsequent trade deal progress, with volatility subsiding. Institutional portfolios finished the quarter with positive absolute performance, consistent with global market returns. The report presents performance comparisons across multiple time horizons from quarter-to-date through 10-year periods, showing percentile rankings from 5th to 95th percentiles where the 5th percentile represents the highest performance. RVK emphasizes that peer comparisons should be considered within appropriate context given the wide range of circumstances across different funds, and should serve as one data point among several in performance evaluation alongside long-term objectives.
