Executive Summary

RiverPark Large Growth Fund returned 3.73% in Q3 2024, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index despite initial volatility from recession concerns. The portfolio is concentrated in secular growth themes including AI/cloud computing (16% allocation), internet media (12.2%), and e-commerce (8.4%). Top contributors included Meta, which reported strong advertising revenue growth across key verticals, and Shopify, which processed 10% of US retail e-commerce sales with accelerating margin expansion. Alternative asset managers Blackstone and KKR benefited from recurring fee growth and permanent capital structures. Key detractors included Alphabet despite solid fundamentals, as investors questioned AI infrastructure investment requirements. The manager remains optimistic about portfolio company valuations and growth prospects, viewing current macro risks as balanced. The fund's thesis centers on companies benefiting from digital transformation, payment modernization, and asset management fee growth. With strong secular tailwinds and attractive valuations, the portfolio is positioned to generate substantial excess cash flow growth over the coming years.
