Quick Take

"Edgewood's large cap growth strategy underperformed in Q3 but maintains strong conviction in AI infrastructure buildout theme representing 28% of portfolio."

Executive Summary

Edgewood Management's large cap growth strategy returned -1.2% net in Q3 2025, underperforming the S&P 500's 8.1% return. The portfolio maintains 28% exposure to AI infrastructure buildout, with major positions in NVIDIA, ASML, Broadcom, and other semiconductor leaders driving the AI revolution. The firm took advantage of quarter-end volatility to add to high-conviction names including ASML, Eli Lilly, Fair Isaac, Synopsys, Intuitive Surgical, and Boston Scientific. Key detractors included The Trade Desk (which was sold due to competitive concerns), Netflix, Intuit, Intuitive Surgical, and ServiceNow, primarily due to AI disruption fears that management believes are overblown. The strategy focuses on companies with durable competitive advantages, strong cash flow generation, and exposure to secular growth themes including AI, cloud computing, and healthcare innovation. All senior investment team members personally added capital to the strategy in September, demonstrating conviction in the current portfolio positioning and long-term outlook.
