Mar Vista’s U.S. Quality Portfolio underperformed key indices in Q1 2026, posting a -7.24% net return versus the Russell 1000’s -4.18% and S&P 500’s -4.33%, reflecting broader market volatility. The firm retained confidence in Ecolab, citing resilient long-term demand drivers and potential for steady growth and margin expansion despite persistent macroeconomic and execution risks. GE Vernova remained a core holding, with analysts highlighting its strong returns on invested capital and pivotal role in the global electricity value chain amid energy transition trends. Mar Vista exited its SAP ADR position entirely, attributing the sale to heightened AI disruption risks that widened the range of potential outcomes for traditional enterprise software providers. The Los Angeles-based, employee-owned firm manages strategies for institutional and high-net-worth clients, emphasizing fundamental equity investments across growth, focus, and global markets.
