News & Insights

TimesSquare Capital Management, LLC (“TimesSquare”) is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is majority owned by Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE: AMG).

The performance information represented herein is intended for use only by institutional and high-net-worth investors and is not for distribution to a wider audience.

Variations in performance can be attributed to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, cash flows, timing of purchases and sales of portfolio securities, and investment restrictions imposed by account holders. There can be no assurance that the future performance of an individual account will be the same as the performance of any other account, including those represented in the historical record we present.

Performance is measured against the Russell Midcap® Growth – a market capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of those Russell Midcap® companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth rates.  All indexes, including the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, are based on gross-of-fee returns.  FTSE Russell is the source and owner of the Russell Index data contained or reflected in this material and all trademarks and copyrights related thereto.

The performance figures shown are calculated in U.S. dollars on a size-weighted basis and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, and the deduction of brokerage commissions and other transaction costs. Performance is provided on a gross basis (before the deduction of management fees) as well as net of the highest fee level from the standard fee schedule listed for this strategy during the period presented. From January 1, 2007 to April 30, 2010 the applied standard fee was 150 basis points.  From May 1, 2010 through December 31,2023, the applied standard fee was 100 bps. From January 1, 2024 through present, the applied standard fee is 85 basis points. To illustrate performance net of fees, assume $20,000,000 is placed under management for ten years sustaining 10% compound gross total return. If an advisory fee of 1.00% of average assets under management is charged per year, for each year of the ten-year period, the resulting compound annual return would be reduced to 9.0%. The ending dollar value of the account would be $47,347,274 compared with the unreduced account value of $51,874,849. TimesSquare’s fee schedule is available upon request and may also be found in Part 2A of our Form ADV.
