"Constructive on secular enterprise AI capital expenditure and select domestic growth franchises, maintaining high software and technology allocations while balancing macro headwinds from elevated interest rates."
Oak Ridge portfolios delivered mixed relative results during the third quarter of 2026 against a shifting equity tape. Large-Cap and All-Cap strategies performed essentially in line with their respective Russell 1000 and 3000 Growth benchmarks, while Mid-Cap and Small-Cap portfolios gave back a portion of their first-half outperformance. The manager avoided major drawdowns in cyclical consumer exposures but experienced performance friction from an underweight in rebounding software names and pullbacks in datacenter-related industrial power suppliers and leading healthcare holdings. The broader macroeconomic landscape was defined by renewed monetary tightening as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September for the first time since 2023, propelling 10-year Treasury yields above 5% amid stubborn inflation and weakening consumer sentiment. Despite these headwinds, the manager maintains a constructive outlook on domestic economic expansion, noting that corporate artificial intelligence capital expenditures represent one-third of total corporate capex. Unlike the debt-funded 2000 telecom buildout, current enterprise infrastructure investments are supported by organic corporate cash flows. From a portfolio allocation standpoint, Oak Ridge trimmed high-flying technology names ahead of the index rebalance while preserving meaningful exposure to enterprise AI beneficiaries. Key positive attribution was driven by an overweight in cloud infrastructure and online retail alongside financial services platforms, offset by a sharp pullback in a core weight-loss biopharma position. Healthcare remains an anchor focus, particularly within bio/pharma companies exhibiting clear clinical catalysts and low debt, reinforced by M&A activity such as Vertex acquiring a portfolio holding.
