ismagilov/iStock via Getty Images Performance Review For the quarter, the fund's Retail Class shares returned -7.12%, outpacing the -9.78% result of the benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index. Importantly, given our focus, long-term performance favors the fund over the benchmark. U.S. large-cap growth stocks entered 2026 with strong momentum but began to fade in mid-January, as concern about the viability of artificial intelligence-related investments surfaced. The downturn continued until February 28, when the conflict in the Middle East took center stage. The Iran war sent a shockwave through oil markets, with the potential to dampen growth and stoke inflation, leading to a sharp decline for the index in March. This backdrop was in stark contrast to the one underpinning the historically fast rally that began in early April 2025, when U.S. stocks were supported by strong corporate fundamentals, a resilient economy, an ongoing boom in spending on AI and, beginning in September, the Federal Reserve's first interest-rate reductions since December 2024. As 2026 began, investors expected the uptrend to continue, driven by AI-fueled capital expenditures, fiscal support from the massive tax and spending package passed in July 2025, and strong corporate earnings. Instead, the index retreated amid geopolitical uncertainty, persistent inflation and elevated valuations. Early in the new year, large-cap growth stocks showed signs of fading momentum, largely due to concern about a potential AI bubble, with the index returning -1.51% in January and -3.36% in February. Joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28. The price of crude oil spiked to as high as $120 per barrel following the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for roughly 35% of global crude exports. As the conflict spread and other nations and militant groups interceded, the index returned -5.21% in March. In Q1, the growth-oriented information technology and consumer discretionary sectors e...
