COMMENTARY After 9 consecutive weeks of gains in the S&P 500, it seemed like the equity rally had run out of steam just as the calendar turned the page on a new year. Or had it? Softer than expected inflation data reinforced expectations that interest rate cuts were a real possibility this year, though the timing continues to be a source of debate. Generally positive economic news and earnings releases supported the thesis that – despite being on the other side of one of the most aggressive interest rate hike campaigns ever – the economy and the consumer appeared relatively healthy. The result: by mid-January the equity markets were making all-time highs.

As is always the case, we encourage investors to think long-term about the Fund’s focus on growth, disruption, and transformation. We would remind readers that it took around 12 years for the automobile to displace the horse drawn carriage, but once it happened no one looked back. History has many examples of evolutionary (or even revolutionary) technologies that solve social problems and/or cause important changes. Companies that are driven by this change most often experience accelerated long-term revenue and earnings growth. These companies have corporate cultures that are led by CEOs/founders who are willing to do what is different. Companies that do not seek to embrace change ultimately go the way of the past. This may be one reason why growth stocks tend to outperform value stocks.
