John Barr, managing the $2.3 billion Needham Aggressive Growth Fund, achieved a 94% return last year by investing in small-cap companies that underpin AI, defense, and infrastructure. His strategy focuses on 'hidden compounders'—firms with stable core businesses quietly developing new growth areas, such as nLight's laser defense tech and Vertiv's data center equipment.
