"Large Cap Quality Growth outperformed by 400 basis points in Q1. Quality positioning and low volatility focus benefited from investor flight to safety amid tariff uncertainty."
The Large Cap Quality Growth portfolio outperformed during a challenging first quarter, declining 6% versus the Russell 1000 Growth index's 10% decline. The portfolio's focus on quality companies with low price volatility proved beneficial as major indices erased all fourth quarter gains amid uncertainty around tariffs and fiscal policy from the new administration. Consumer Discretionary holdings like AutoZone, TJX Companies, and McDonald's generated positive returns, while overweights in attractively valued Health Care and Industrials sectors enhanced outperformance. Cboe Global Markets contributed significantly as options exchange demand increases during volatile periods. The portfolio faced headwinds in Communications with an underweight to Meta Platforms and declines in ServiceNow. Semiconductor companies Broadcom and NVIDIA fell over 20% on export restrictions, while lululemon declined on tariff concerns and Adobe disappointed with cautious guidance. Despite current uncertainty, strong labor markets, moderating inflation, and growing corporate profits suggest market fundamentals remain intact, with money rotation into non-tech sectors indicating continued risk appetite.
