Columbia Threadneedle Investments, an investment management company, released its first-quarter 2026 investor letter for the “Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund”. A copy of the letter is available to download here. In Q1 2026, the Fund’s institutional Class shares fell –6.05%, outperforming the S&P Global 1200 Information Technology Index, which declined –6.57%. Positive performance was mainly due to security selection in semiconductor and AI infrastructure companies, along with an underweight position in software and IT services. Broad markets declined amid a reversal in market dynamics, with energy and commodities surging while growth and tech fell sharply. The letter highlighted that, despite geopolitical risks and uncertainty, the U.S. economy continues to show resilience. In addition, you can check the Fund’s top 5 holdings for its best picks for 2026.

Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund stated the following regarding ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:

"ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) shares declined over 30% during the quarter, as the company became a high-profile victim of the broader repricing of SaaS business models amid growing adoption of AI-native solutions. The sell-off reflected investor concerns that the company’s traditional per-seat licensing model faces structural headwinds as enterprises increasingly adopt hyperscale-based AI offerings. Despite the stock’s decline, ServiceNow raised its full-year outlook for subscription revenue growth, and the company’s AI platform continued to gain traction in large-enterprise automation deals."
