Baron Fifth Avenue Growth Fund March 31, 2019 Baron Fifth Avenue Growth Fund DEAR BARON FIFTH AVENUE GROWTH FUND SHAREHOLDER: PERFORMANCE 2019 is off to a good start and we were able to reverse most of last quarter’s losses. Baron Fifth Avenue Growth Fund (the “Fund”) gained 18.7% (Institutional Shares) in the March quarter, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 16.1%, and the S&P 500 Index, which rose 13.7%.

Investors appear to have shrugged off concerns over 140 basis points mostly due to cash, which diluted returns in a rising declining earnings growth, weakening economic data, and the continued market. We saw broad-based strength across the portfolio, with lack of a resolution in U.S.-China trade negotiations, choosing instead to Amazon.com, Alibaba, Veeva Systems, Worldpay, Mastercard, Sage focus on more attractive valuations. Fed Chairman Powell must have read Therapeutics,andEPAM Systems contributing over 100 basis points each our last quarterly letter and abruptly reversed course, returning the U.S. to absolute returns. Another 10 investments contributed over 50 basis monetary policy back to its “data dependent” path and, in the process, points each, and 23 of our holdings posted double-digit percentage gains signaling more accommodative interest rates for the foreseeable future. OK, during the quarter. We had seven decliners with CME Group, Tesla, and maybe he did not read our letter, but we are still convinced it was that Biogen, the bottom three, costing us approximately 90 basis points change, more than anything else, that caused the first quarter equity rally. combined. Performance listed in the table above is net of annual operating expenses. Annual expense ratio for the Retail and Institutional Shares as of September 30, 2018 was 1.09% and 0.82%, but the net annual expense ratio was 1.00% and 0.75% (net of the Adviser’s fee waivers, restated to reflect current fee waivers).

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate; an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Adviser reimburses certain Baron Fund expenses pursuant to a contract expiring on August 29, 2030, unless renewed for another 11-year term and the Fund’s transfer agency expenses may be reduced by expense offsets from an unaffiliated transfer agent, without which performance would have been lower.

  • Matching with IAC $IAC $MTCH
    Matching with IAC $IAC $MTCH IAC Interactive (IAC; disclosure: long) represents the opportunity to invest in a company trading for roughly the same price of its publicly traded equity stakes despite the presence of world class capital allocators with a proven history of realizing shareholder value at the opportune time, hundreds of millions in net cash on their balance sheet, and a grab bag of other (quite valuable) assets. Let me start with a bit of background: IAC is a conglomerate controlled by mogul Barry Diller. The company has a long and storied history which makes for interesting reading (at various points in time, they’ve owned big stakes in everything from a Japanese home shopping network to Ticketmaster and a variety of other big internet companies) but is a bit beyond the scope of this article; however, what is worth noting is that an investment in IAC since its inception in 1995 has destroyed a similar investment in the S&P 500: Anyway, today IAC has five main sources of value. I’ll go over them briefly below, but I’d encourage you to check out their FY16 letter for a bit more depth into their businesses: 1. Match.com (MTCH): IAC owns 80%+ of publicly traded Match.com, which owns Match, Tinder, and several other popular dating sites. 2. ANGI Homeservices (ANGI): IAC owns ~85% of ANGI Homeservices, which was formed by the merger of IAC’s HomeAdvisor with Angie’s List. 3. Video- IAC fully owns this segment, which includes Vimeo, CollegeHumor, Daily Burn, and a few others.

  • 1Q19 Baron Large Cap Growth Strategy Letter
    Baron Large Cap Growth Strategy March 31, 2019 DEAR INVESTOR: After steep losses to end last year, global equity markets rallied sharply, and U.S. large-cap equities participated fully, registering the best start to the PERFORMANCE year since 1998. Investors appear to have shrugged off concerns over declining earnings growth, weakening economic data, and the continued 2019 is off to a good start, and we were able to reverse most of last lack of a resolution in U.S.-China trade negotiations, choosing instead to quarter’s losses. Baron Large Cap Growth Strategy gained 18.70% (net of focus on more attractive valuations. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell fees) in the March quarter, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index, abruptly reversed course, returning U.S. monetary policy back to its “data which returned 16.1%, and the S&P 500 Index, which rose 13.7%. dependent” path and, in the process, signaling more accommodative interest rates for the near future. We would argue that it was that change, Table I. more than anything else, that caused the first quarter rally. Performance Annualized for periods ended March 31, 2019 The Strategy’s strong performance was largely attributable to stock Baron Large Baron Large Russell selection, which contributed over 400 basis points to outperformance Cap Growth Cap Growth 1000 relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index, while allocation effect Strategy Strategy Growth S&P 500 (net)1 (gross)1 Index1 Index1 detracted approximately 140 basis points, mostly due to cash, which diluted returns in a rising market.
