⚡ Quantum Brief
The fund posted negative Q4 2025 returns, underperforming its benchmark due to poor stock selection in financials, IT, healthcare, and communication services. Growth stocks lagged value after Trump’s April 2025 tariff announcements, as markets recalibrated AI-driven valuations amid economic uncertainty. Industrials, energy, and real estate stock picks boosted relative returns, while an overweight in communication services partially offset broader sector losses. An underweight healthcare allocation further dragged performance, highlighting sector misalignment amid shifting market dynamics. The quarter reflected broader market digestion, with investors reassessing high-growth tech bets amid geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures.
