| Q4 2025 | Feb 3, 2026 | Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Equity Fund | 1.2% | -8.5% | ABT, AFRM, BOOT, BRBR, BROS, BURL, BWXT, CASY, CHDN, COCO, CRDO, CW, DKNG, DT, ELF, EME, EXAS, FOUR, GKOS, KTB, LII, MASI, MNDY, MTSI, PEN, PODD, RGEN, RKLB, TARS, TWLO, ULS, VERX, WAY, WSO | AI, defense, growth, healthcare, mid cap, semiconductors, small cap, technology | The extended federal government shutdown added volatility during what was otherwise a risk-on environment, with a mid-quarter shift in market behavior for AI-related equities as the exuberant narrative evolved to one more balanced in assessing the technology's enormous potential against staggering capital spending plans and high expectations. The team initiated a position in Credo Technology as a more diversified way to gain exposure to strong trends in AI-connectivity. MACOM Technology Solutions rose nearly +40% as the company experienced broad-based demand, similar to many semiconductor companies in 2025. The team exited Astera Labs following industry conference presentations that suggested emerging competitive risks and concerns over single customer concentration, while initiating a position in Credo Technology for AI-connectivity exposure. Healthcare was the strongest relative contributor in the quarter with holdings increasing nearly +16% compared to benchmark returns of roughly +12%. Exact Sciences was acquired for a significant premium by Abbott Laboratories resulting in an +86% return, while other strong performers included Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Glaukos following approval of a new product, Penumbra, and Repligen driven by strong earnings results. The team initiated a position in Curtiss-Wright, believing the company is entering a period where multiple near-term growth drivers are converging, including rising defense budgets, commercial aerospace production ramps, nuclear power plant life extensions and new builds, and submarine production. EMCOR Group was initiated as a new position, viewed as a critical contractor enabling multi-year investment cycles across data centers, semiconductor fabrication, electrification, and broader infrastructure modernization. Its decentralized, cash-generative model, recurring service base, and exposure to structural growth drivers create a profile viewed as more durable than a typical cyclical contractor framework. | View | |

SiTime Corp benefited from 115% growth in its data center segment reflecting surging demand from AI applications. The manager published a piece discussing AI as one of their top five secular trends for the near-to-medium term. The portfolio had strong performance from semiconductor investments including MACOM and SiTime. MACOM delivered strong Q4 results with 30% revenue growth, serving telecommunications, data center, defense, and industrial markets. SiTime revolutionized timing devices with MEMS-based silicon solutions and saw 45% growth driven by AI applications in data centers. Chime was highlighted as a leading online bank and top contributor in the Financial sector. The company's cost-effective, mobile-first, cloud-native infrastructure allows it to serve underbanked populations with free banking services. Revenue continues to increase above 30% annually with profit margins above 65%, and the manager believes Chime can triple its revenue per customer over the next five years. Guardant Health, a provider of blood-based diagnostic tests for cancer, was a significant contributor with strong Q3 results. The core oncology business grew revenues 30% with acceleration driven by innovative product enhancements. The company continues to lead the charge in converting oncology testing from tissue to blood, representing a major shift in cancer diagnostics. Flying taxis were mentioned as one of the speculative investment themes that drove 2025 returns, though the manager deliberately avoided these speculative companies. Drones were also identified as one of the top five secular trends for the near-to-medium term in the manager's recent publication. Robotics was identified as one of the manager's top five secular trends for the near-to-medium term. This represents an area of focus for finding category leaders before they become widely discovered, though specific robotics investments were not detailed in this letter. | View | |
