Harbor Mid Cap Core ETF returns 12.99% in Q2, slightly underperforming Russell Midcap Index

In the second quarter, the Harbor Mid Cap Core ETF (EPMB) posted a 12.99% return, slightly below its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Index, which gained 13.83%. The ETF's underperformance was mainly due to lagging behind in the Information Technology sector, where a narrower group of high-growth stocks led the benchmark's gains. However, strong stock selection in Industrials, Health Care, and Consumer Staples helped support relative performance. The fund follows a fundamental investment approach focused on mid-cap stocks and is managed by Paul E. Viera with subadvisor EARNEST Partners LLC.
