Insights

ADX outperformed S&P 500 and peers across all time periods with strong tech positioning driving returns.

Adams Diversified Equity Fund delivered impressive results in the first half of 2025, with a 7.8% NAV return that meaningfully outpaced both the S&P 500 (6.2%) and its Morningstar Large Blend category (5.7%). Even more notable was the fund's market price return of 12.4%, indicating increasing investor demand.

The fund's longer-term performance metrics reveal a pattern of consistent outperformance. Over the past three years, ADX has generated annualized NAV returns of 20.5% versus 19.7% for the S&P 500 and 18.2% for its peer group. This outperformance extends across 1, 5, and 10-year periods as well.

Examining the portfolio reveals a strategic overweight to Information Technology at 32.7% of assets. The fund's top holdings are concentrated in tech giants, with Microsoft (7.7%), NVIDIA (7.5%), and Apple (6.1%) collectively representing over 21% of the portfolio. This positioning has likely been instrumental in driving the fund's strong relative performance.

Despite the tech emphasis, ADX maintains diversification across all 11 major sectors, with meaningful allocations to Financials (13.8%), Consumer Discretionary (10.7%), and Communication Services (9.8%). The fund's total net assets stood at $2.8 billion as of June 30, 2025, with NAV per share at $23.35, slightly down from $23.69 a year earlier despite positive returns, which suggests dividend distributions during this period.

The reduction in shares outstanding from 124.1 million to 120.1 million indicates the fund may have repurchased shares, a practice that can benefit remaining shareholders by potentially reducing any discount to NAV. Overall, the consistent outperformance across multiple time periods demonstrates effective execution of the fund's large-cap equity strategy.
