Polen Global Growth adds Seagate, AMD And SK Hynix, trims Nvidia and Broadcom among Q3 moves

What happened

In the third quarter, Polen Global Growth Composite Portfolio returned 3.5% after fees, beating the MSCI ACWI Index by 1.9 percentage points. It opened positions in Seagate Technology, AMD, Quanta Services and SK Hynix, increased Meta Platforms and Keyence, exited Oracle, and reduced holdings including Nvidia and Broadcom.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The portfolio shifts indicate where this manager chose to add or reduce exposure, but do not establish the companies’ prospects or broader investor demand. Buying SK Hynix was funded by selling Oracle, while trimming Nvidia and Broadcom reduced the fund’s holdings in those companies.

Analyst inference

The disclosed moves combine new investments in storage, chipmaking and infrastructure businesses with reductions across several existing holdings. The fund also reported a positive quarter and benchmark outperformance, but these portfolio actions and results alone do not show whether the same trends apply across the wider market.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch for the fund’s next portfolio disclosure to show whether its new Seagate, AMD, Quanta Services and SK Hynix positions were maintained or changed. Analyst inference
2. The article says Oracle proceeds funded the SK Hynix investment; a future disclosure could clarify whether this was a one-time funding choice or a continuing shift. Analyst inference
3. Track subsequent reported performance against the MSCI ACWI Index, since the quarter’s return and outperformance describe only this period. Analyst inference
