Summary
Polen Capital is struggling to contain heavy asset losses after its Florida fund stayed out of Nvidia and leaned into Adobe during the AI boom.
That positioning put the fund on the wrong side of Wall Street’s hottest trade: Nvidia surged as the dominant AI-chip winner, while Adobe became a laggard hurt by AI disruption.
The reversal was so stark that Bloomberg described the strategy as 180 degrees off the market’s prevailing AI bet.
The episode underscores how concentrated AI winners and losers have reshaped active fund performance, punishing managers who missed Nvidia’s rally.
