"The Strategy underperformed benchmarks in the third quarter of 2026 due to an aggressive technical unwind in momentum-driven artificial intelligence holdings."
ClearBridge International Growth ADR Strategy maintains a long-term constructive philosophy centered on capturing secular growth leaders with durable competitive moats, high returns on invested capital, and structural tailwinds across international markets. During the third quarter of 2026, the strategy experienced relative performance headwinds as momentum-driven artificial intelligence infrastructure holdings suffered an aggressive sentiment unwind and technical deleveraging across global markets. Portfolio underperformance was concentrated within the information technology and industrials sectors, amplified by an overweight stance in hardware cyclicals and an underweight allocation to strong-performing international financial institutions. Management emphasizes that despite severe market volatility, portfolio holdings across the hardware and infrastructure spectrum generated record financial results without fundamental impairment. In response to heightened volatility, portfolio managers actively adjusted risk parameters by reallocating capital into broader structural growers across materials and financials while establishing new positions in select high-quality cyclicals. Additionally, the team opportunistically repurchased previously held enterprise software and defensive franchises at attractive entry multiples, balancing high-beta artificial intelligence beneficiaries with resilient compounders to navigate ongoing macroeconomic dispersion.
