This RVK peer group analysis provides institutional investors with comparative performance data for Q2 2025 across various client categories including corporate, healthcare, public, and endowment funds. The quarter was dominated by US tariff policy negotiations which initially caused sharp equity market declines and Treasury market dislocations. However, markets rebounded following an announced 90-day tariff pause and progress in trade negotiations, with volatility subsequently declining. Despite the initial turbulence, institutional investment portfolios finished the quarter with positive absolute performance, consistent with global market returns. The analysis presents percentile rankings from 5th to 95th percentiles across multiple time horizons including quarter-to-date, year-to-date, and longer-term periods of 1, 3, 5, and 10 years. RVK emphasizes that peer comparisons should be considered within appropriate context given the wide range of circumstances across different funds, and should serve as one data point among several in performance evaluation alongside long-term objectives.
