"Mar Vista's U.S. Quality Premier strategy gained +1.74% net of fees in Q3 2026 as macroeconomic pressures broadened market dispersion. The team remains committed to AI infrastructure beneficiaries, which comprise over 40% of the portfolio, while maintaining disciplined hurdles for capital efficiency, taking advantage of aerospace aftermarket pullbacks, and exiting fully valued holdings."
Mar Vista's investment philosophy centers on owning high-quality companies with durable competitive moats, capable management, and strong returns on invested capital, while maintaining valuation discipline. During the third quarter of 2026, the strategy returned +1.74% net of fees, compared to +1.79% for the Russell 1000 Index and +2.30% for the S&P 500 Index. Stock selection in information technology and financials contributed positively, while industrials and materials detracted. The firm observes that macroeconomic headwinds—including higher interest rates, elevated energy costs, and persistent inflation—are exerting financial gravity on broad market valuations, despite headline index resilience driven by artificial intelligence leaders. Over 40% of the strategy is invested in AI infrastructure enablers, but management emphasizes selective underwriting of incremental returns on invested capital as capital expenditures expand. The portfolio also initiated a new position in StandardAero and liquidated its remaining position in Oracle.
