Equity markets continued a strong recovery in July as earnings exceeded lowered expectations and fears of a recession faded. The BBH Select Series – Large Cap Fund (“the Fund”) gained 2.01% for the month, modestly underperforming the benchmark S&P 500’s gain of 3.21%. Communication Services was the Fund’s best performing sector for the month driven by healthy ad spending and continued enthusiasm around Artificial Intelligence (AI). Industrials was the weakest sector as labor pressures and slowed growth in China weighed on returns. At the security level, Alphabet (GOOG), Zoetis (ZTS), and Booking Holdings (BKNG) were the Fund’s best performers, and Waste Management (WM), Graco (GGG), and Progressive (PGR) were the weakest performers.
