"The fund returned 16.08% in Q2 2026, slightly trailing its benchmark as US markets surged on Middle East de-escalation and AI optimism. Technology led with a historic semiconductor rally driven by data center investment enthusiasm."
The Optimum Large Cap Growth Fund returned 16.08% net of fees in Q2 2026, slightly underperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index which returned 16.74%. US markets rebounded strongly during the quarter, with the S&P 500 rising 14.9% in its strongest quarter since 2020. The dominant driver was the de-escalation of Middle East conflict, which eased inflation concerns and pushed oil prices lower. Technology led market gains by a wide margin, powered by a historic rally in semiconductor and memory stocks as investors grew increasingly optimistic about artificial intelligence demand and data center investment. Small cap stocks kept pace with large caps in a broad risk-on environment. However, interest rates rose modestly as investors abandoned expectations for further Federal Reserve rate cuts and began anticipating a possible rate hike before year-end amid persistent above-target inflation. The fund's American Century sleeve underperformed due to stock selection in semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, while the LA Capital sleeve outperformed through overweight allocation to computer processing hardware. Looking ahead, inflation, interest rates, Federal Reserve policy, and continued AI enthusiasm could have outsized influence on markets.
