"Concentrated global growth fund underperformed significantly in Q1 2026 despite strong individual company fundamentals. Manager maintains high conviction in technology leaders like Arm Holdings benefiting from AI adoption and Tesla's EV/autonomy evolution."
Loomis Sayles Global Growth Fund posted -13.09% returns versus -3.20% for the MSCI ACWI benchmark, underperforming by 9.89% in Q1 2026. The fund maintains a concentrated approach with top 10 holdings representing 54.3% of assets, led by technology giants Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla. Key contributors included Arm Holdings, which reported record results driven by AI-accelerated adoption of higher-royalty technology, Novartis despite patent headwinds, and Ambev's solid execution in challenging markets. Detractors included Shopify, Adyen, and Tesla, though the manager maintains conviction in these positions. The portfolio trades at an estimated 47.9% discount to intrinsic value, reflecting the manager's patient, long-term approach with 8.7% annualized turnover since inception. Manager Aziz Hamzaogullari emphasizes investing in businesses with sustainable competitive advantages when they trade at meaningful discounts, maintaining overweight positions in communication services, consumer discretionary, and healthcare while avoiding several sectors entirely.
