Quick Take

"Underperforming on NVIDIA strength but facing headwinds from Disney and Adyen. The fund maintains concentrated exposure to AI, cloud computing, and digital platforms with strong secular tailwinds."

Executive Summary

RiverPark Large Growth Fund returned 2.94% in Q2 2024, underperforming the Russell 1000 Growth index which returned 8.33%. The fund's core thesis centers on owning attractively valued companies benefiting from strong secular growth trends and positioned to generate substantial growing excess cash flow. Top contributors included NVIDIA, which delivered blowout results driven by AI demand for its graphics processors, and Alphabet, which saw strong Search and YouTube revenues plus Cloud reacceleration. The portfolio maintains significant exposure to technology themes including AI/Cloud Computing at 15.9% and Internet Media at 14.4%. Key detractors included Disney due to mixed earnings and Adyen despite strong volume growth but lower take rates. The manager expects continued volatility in the second half driven by inflation and economic growth data but remains optimistic about portfolio company fundamentals. The fund's concentrated approach focuses on secular growth drivers across technology, media, and e-commerce sectors with a long-term investment horizon.
