"Small-cap growth fund capitalizing on AI infrastructure boom through data center cooling, electrical equipment, and fiber optic companies while maintaining exposure to natural gas midstream and aerospace defense. Near-term volatility from Middle East tensions creates opportunity as hyperscaler spending commitments underpin multi-year growth visibility for portfolio companies."
The Carillon Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund navigated a volatile first quarter marked by initial optimism around Fed accommodation and massive AI infrastructure spending plans, followed by uncertainty from Middle East military strikes that sent energy prices sharply higher. The fund's core thesis centers on companies benefiting from AI data center buildout, with strong performers including Applied Optoelectronics, Modine Manufacturing, and Powell Industries securing major hyperscaler wins. Natural gas infrastructure companies like Archrock are positioned for sustained growth driven by LNG exports and data center power demand. The manager remains constructive on cyclicals including aerospace defense contractors benefiting from military restocking needs. Healthcare underperformed as investors rotated into cyclicals, though the sector trades at attractive valuations. Key risks include prolonged Middle East tensions impacting energy prices and consumer spending. The manager expects current turbulence to be short-lived given strong US economic fundamentals, with valuations now at more reasonable levels providing opportunity for patient capital deployment across secular growth themes.
