The Columbia Balanced Fund’s Institutional Class shares delivered a 2.05% return for Q4 2025, trailing the Russell 1000 Index’s 2.41% gain but outperforming broader market benchmarks through strategic sector allocation. U.S. equities rose 2.41% in Q4 2025 per the Russell 1000, with the fund’s relative outperformance against the S&P 500 driven by sector allocation, partially offset by weaker individual stock selection.
