"Edgewood delivered strong Q2 performance (15.9% net) while adding three new positions: Boston Scientific, Broadcom, and Fair Isaac. The firm capitalized on market volatility to enhance its concentrated portfolio of 22 high-quality growth companies."
Edgewood Management delivered strong Q2 2025 performance with the Large Cap Growth Composite returning 15.9% net, outperforming both the S&P 500 (10.9%) and Russell 1000 Growth (17.8%). The firm took advantage of market volatility to initiate three new investments: Boston Scientific, Broadcom, and Fair Isaac. Boston Scientific represents exposure to the attractive medical device market with procedure-based revenue and innovation-driven growth. Broadcom provides diversified technology exposure with significant AI opportunities through custom silicon and datacenter infrastructure. Fair Isaac offers exposure to the consumer credit ecosystem through its dominant FICO Score platform. AI spending remains a robust secular trend, positioning the portfolio well for long-term opportunities. The U.S. economy continues expanding without materialized inflation fears. Top contributors included NVIDIA (45.8% return) and Netflix (43.6% return). Following heightened portfolio activity since 2022, the firm anticipates decreased portfolio turnover going forward. The concentrated 22-stock portfolio maintains focus on high-quality growth companies with durable competitive advantages.
