"WestEnd Capital maintains concentrated AI infrastructure exposure through established positions in Palantir and Snowflake plus new catch-up trades in AMD, Alibaba, and Baidu. Technology remains largest allocation while diversifying into international markets and industrials."

Executive Summary

WestEnd Capital's Q3 2025 review emphasizes their concentrated positioning in AI infrastructure and technology leaders. The Core portfolio underperformed the S&P 500 in Q3 but remains roughly in line for the year. Technology represents their largest allocation, with established positions in Palantir and Snowflake complemented by new positions in AMD, Alibaba, and Baidu as AI catch-up trades. AMD is viewed as approaching a strategic inflection point, competing head-to-head with NVIDIA through partnerships with OpenAI and Oracle. Snowflake continues as a leader in enterprise AI adoption, while Alibaba and Baidu provide exposure to Asia's technology transformation and China's AI integration goals. The firm maintains diversified exposure beyond technology into international stocks, industrials, aerospace, and defense. Looking forward, WestEnd focuses on durable growth drivers including artificial intelligence, infrastructure investment, and easing financial conditions while positioning for continued long-term growth through their balanced approach to global technology and industrial leaders.
