The Low Quality Storm

Mid Cap Core Review of the Second Quarter of 2025 | KayneCast 292

August 5, 2025

“Tariffs and their impact on the economy continues to feel like a moving target in more ways than one.  It has created ongoing uncertainty and volatility in the markets that we have not seen for some time.  So, when we have a large external impact on the economy like this it tends to create the uncertainty we have seen and ergo the extreme movements we have also experienced.”

Each quarter, Jon Christensen, Portfolio Manager and Senior Research Analyst provides an update on the performance of the Mid Cap Core strategy and shares his market outlook.  Listen to his most recent episode where Jon recaps market activity during 2Q 2025, with a focus on:

  • How ongoing tariff uncertainty continues to drive market volatility
  • Primary contributors and detractors to the Mid Cap Core strategy performance
  • Why he believes quality and consistency remain central to long-term outperformance as valuation gaps between large and small caps begin to narrow
