Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"WestEnd outperformed through concentrated bets on aerospace and industrial onshoring beneficiaries. Following tariff de-escalation, the fund redeployed cash into Boeing's turnaround story and complementary suppliers like Howmet, Rockwell, and GE Aerospace."

Executive Summary

WestEnd delivered strong Q2 2025 performance, generating double the S&P 500 return through overweights in Technology, Industrials, and European stocks. The fund actively redeployed cash during the market recovery following US-China tariff de-escalation from 100%+ to 30%/10% levels. The investment thesis centers on structural onshoring trends and rising defense spending, with global defense budgets reaching $2.7 trillion in 2024. Key holdings include Boeing as a turnaround story following management changes, complemented by picks-and-shovels plays Howmet Aerospace, Rockwell Automation, and GE Aerospace. These companies benefit from commercial aviation recovery (air travel up 10.6% in 2024), defense spending increases, and automation adoption in manufacturing. The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act provides additional tailwinds through capital equipment expensing and factory construction write-offs. Portfolio positioning reflects confidence in companies positioned at the center of domestic manufacturing renaissance and supply chain resilience initiatives, with markets having moved past worst-case tariff scenarios.
