TANAKA Growth Fund Achieves Remarkable Ranking in Lipper Survey
On October 16, 2025, Tanaka Capital Management (TCM) proudly announced that its TANAKA Growth Fund (TGFRX) has secured the #2 position out of 302 funds in the Multi-Cap Growth category according to the latest findings from LSEG Lipper. This incredible accomplishment underscores the fund's strong performance over the past five years, culminating in a total return of 220%—a substantial outperformance compared to its benchmarks, including the Wilshire 2500 Growth index at 127% and the S&P 500 at 114%.
In a statement from Graham Tanaka, President of TCM and Co-Portfolio Manager of the fund, he expressed his satisfaction with the fund’s performance, stating, "We are pleased that the TANAKA Growth Fund continues to deliver superior long-term returns for shareholders and maintain a top ranking in its category." This affirmation highlights the firm’s commitment to navigating diverse market cycles and managing a well-diversified portfolio, which encompasses a breadth of companies from small-cap to mega-cap across various sectors such as technology, healthcare, financials, energy, and materials.
Benjamin Bratt, Co-Portfolio Manager of the TANAKA Growth Fund, elaborated on the fund's distinct investment approach, emphasizing their focus on bottom-up stock selection.

This strategy has driven several of their recent investments in burgeoning sectors such as critical minerals, biotechnology, and electric batteries. These sectors have already begun to contribute positively to the fund's performance, with a reported gain of 59% year-to-date, outperforming its benchmarks—the Wilshire 2500 Growth index and the S&P 500—by significant margins, as of October 14, 2025.
