Quick Take

"Driven by AI leader NVIDIA's 82% gain and strong performance from Meta, Disney, Uber, and Netflix."

Executive Summary

RiverPark Large Growth Fund returned 9.20% in Q1 2024, slightly underperforming the Russell 1000 Growth index return of 11.41%. The quarter was dominated by AI-driven performance with NVIDIA gaining 82% and adding over $1 trillion in market value as the top contributor. Other strong performers included Meta Platforms with accelerating advertising revenue growth, Disney with better-than-expected earnings across all segments, Uber with strong gross bookings growth, and Netflix with accelerating subscriber additions. Detractors included Snap despite meeting expectations, Apple facing antitrust concerns and China headwinds, Five9 with in-line guidance, Nike with lowered second-half guidance, and Adobe pressured by AI competition concerns. The portfolio maintains exposure to secular growth themes including AI hardware and software, streaming content, social media platforms, and e-commerce. Despite higher inflation readings reducing Fed rate cut expectations, the manager remains optimistic about the portfolio's positioning to benefit from long-term growth trends and generate substantial cash flows.
