Across the portfolios, between two-thirds and three-quarters of holdings have met or exceeded both Sustainable Growth Advisers' internal expectations and consensus forecasts for earnings and revenue growth.

Sustainable Growth Advisers initiated a new position in Mastercard, viewing a share price dislocation caused by proposed interest rate caps as an attractive entry point into a high-quality earnings compounder.
