Mid-Cap Growth
Overview
The Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund is a high conviction portfolio of 60-70 stocks, with a strong emphasis on fundamental, bottom-up research to discover unique, secular growth stories that we believe can drive above average sales and earnings growth. The team strongly believes in having a true “smid” portfolio invested in companies primarily between $500 million and $15 billion in market cap. The primary investment goal is to provide superior-to-market returns over a 3-5 year time horizon versus the Russell 2500 Growth Index. The team does this by finding companies for inclusion in the portfolio that have stronger growth, more favorable industry dynamics and competitive positioning, and the opportunity to expand profit margins.
