"Edgewood delivered strong Q2 performance at 15.9% net, adding three new positions while trimming winners. The concentrated 22-stock portfolio capitalizes on AI spending and semiconductor growth trends."
Edgewood Management delivered strong Q2 2025 performance with the Large Cap Growth Composite returning 15.9% net, outperforming both the S&P 500 (10.9%) and Russell 1000 Growth (17.8%). The firm took advantage of market volatility to initiate three new positions: Boston Scientific, Broadcom, and Fair Isaac, while trimming high-performing positions like Netflix and NVIDIA. The portfolio remains concentrated in 22 high-quality growth companies with strong competitive moats and cash flow generation. Key themes driving performance include AI spending, semiconductor growth, and medical device innovation. NVIDIA and Netflix were top contributors, each contributing over 3% to quarterly performance. The firm maintains its disciplined valuation approach while positioning for secular trends. Looking forward, Edgewood anticipates reduced portfolio turnover after heightened activity since 2022. The U.S. economy continues expanding without materialized inflation fears, providing a supportive backdrop. AI spending remains a robust secular trend, and management believes the portfolio is well-positioned to capitalize on this long-term opportunity across multiple holdings.
