Carillon Mid-Cap Growth Fund’s Q1 Letter Details Value’s Edge and Backs Roblox, Teradyne

The manager expects the energy price jolt tied to Iran strikes to prove short-lived.

Overview

  • Carillon said market swings in the quarter followed military strikes on Iran that lifted energy prices, and it signaled confidence that the disruption will fade with possible de‑escalation.
