Market environment

  • In July, Asian equity markets showed a positive trend, with South Korean and Taiwanese exchanges performing well, while Indian indices were penalized.

  • On the international front, the United States imposed new tariffs: 50% on imports from Brazil, 25% on those from India, and a tariff agreement of 15% with South Korea. These measures affected local currencies, particularly the Indian rupee.

  • In South Korea, markets continued to benefit from a supportive environment for index growth, driven by the election of a new president and technical levels considered attractive.

  • In India, the market decline was attributed to elevated valuation levels and ongoing trade uncertainties with the United States.

Performance commentary

  • In July, the fund delivered a positive performance, although it lagged behind its reference indicator.

  • Our selection of Taiwanese stocks, particularly TSMC and Gold Circuit Electronics, contributed positively to performance. However, the reference indicator outperformed, benefiting from broader geographic exposure to Taiwan.

  • In South Korea, although Samsung Electronics and Soulbrain made positive contributions, our underweight in the region weighed on relative performance.

  • Finally, our exposure to India, through Kotak Mahindra and Kfin Technologies, slightly underperformed, in line with local market trends.

Outlook strategy

  • Emerging Asia represents a vast and diversified investment universe, offering fertile ground for active stock selection and benefiting from attractive growth prospects. We remain constructive on Asian small and mid caps, supported by encouraging macroeconomic indicators, and we prioritize our positions in this segment.

  • India remains our largest geographical weighting, offering a particularly favorable environment for identifying long-term growth stocks. Although local markets have recently faced downward pressure due to geopolitical tensions, the second half of the year looks more promising for Indian assets.

  • We also maintain significant exposure to artificial intelligence-related stocks, through small and mid-cap companies positioned along the semiconductor value chain in Taiwan and South Korea. This segment is expected to benefit from renewed momentum once markets return to a more fundamentals-driven approach.
