| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Driehaus Micro Cap Growth Strategy | 9.1% | 30.5% | CRNX, EOSE, IAG, PRAX, WULF | AI, earnings, energy, growth, healthcare, materials, Micro Cap, small caps | AI continues to be the dominant theme driving the market and economy. Demand for AI LLMs is going up exponentially, with demand by AI users and related demand for AI compute continuing to exceed supply. AI capex and data center spending are expected to remain strong, creating opportunities in semiconductors, data center equipment, commodities, energy, power and grid related supply vendors. Small caps continue to outperform since the April bottom, with micro caps leading the market. Small cap earnings have accelerated in 2025 and are improving on an absolute and relative basis, expected to outgrow large cap earnings in percentage terms over the next year. The market has been broadening out with multiple key sectors and industries making new all-time highs. The strategy maintains exposure to energy transition themes including uranium related holdings, energy storage companies like Eos Energy Enterprises, and renewable energy infrastructure. AI infrastructure projects are driving increased power demands, creating opportunities in power generation, grid equipment, and energy storage solutions. Healthcare, including biotech, performed much better during the quarter and second half of the year. Biotech/pharma holdings saw standout gains driven by positive clinical trial results, clinical approvals, breakthrough therapy designations, and an acquisition during the quarter. The biotech ETF is making a new four year high. The strategy saw continued strength in various rare earth elements and critical mineral companies as well as precious metal miners. Materials holdings rose significantly, though exposure was reduced by taking profits in several REE and critical mineral holdings as they advanced sharply in price. AI infrastructure projects are growing in size and AI data centers are becoming much larger with growing power demands. The strategy has exposure to AI related data centers and reduced exposure to emerging new AI data center operators. Demand for AI compute continues to exceed supply, supporting the data center investment theme. | View |
