2025-03-26 11:10:00 ET
Summary
- Columbia Acorn Fund underperformed the Russell 2500 Growth Index in Q4 but outperformed for the full year, driven by stock selection over sector allocation.
- Top contributors included Credo Technology Group, Natera, and Blue Owl, while detractors were TopBuild, Maravai, and Exact Sciences.
- The fund focuses on innovative small- and mid-cap companies trading at discounts, termed "classification misfits," with exposure to themes like AI, aerospace, and life sciences.
- Positioned with a below-benchmark risk profile, the fund aims for higher growth and lower leverage, seeking to outperform on a rolling three-year basis.
