"Edgewood's concentrated large cap growth portfolio underperformed in Q3 but maintains strong conviction in AI infrastructure and applications theme."
Executive Summary
Edgewood Management's large cap growth strategy delivered -1.2% net returns in Q3 2025, underperforming the S&P 500's 8.1% gain. The portfolio maintains 22 concentrated positions in high-quality growth companies with strong competitive moats and cash flow generation. AI remains a central theme, representing 28% of the portfolio through infrastructure buildout companies including NVIDIA, ASML, and Broadcom. The firm sees encouraging signs of AI broadening beyond infrastructure to proprietary data applications and productivity layers. Key detractors included The Trade Desk (sold), Netflix, Intuit, Intuitive Surgical, and ServiceNow, primarily due to elevated expectations and AI disruption concerns that management views as overblown. The team added to existing positions during market dislocations, demonstrating conviction in their holdings. All senior investment team members personally invested additional capital in September 2025, underscoring their confidence in the current portfolio positioning and long-term strategy.
