Market environment

  • Emerging markets ended the year on a broadly positive note, with a mixed performance across regions in the final month: +2.4% for the CSI 300, −2.0% for the Hang Seng, +8.3% for the KOSPI, +1.8% for Mexico’s IPC and -2.4% for the Bovespa Index.
  • In China, international news weighed on the performance of the Hong Kong market. By contrast, the domestic market advanced, supported by marginally improving activity indicators in both the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors, as well as a recovery in the trade balance.
  • In South Korea, markets continue to benefit from a marked improvement in consumer confidence since the beginning of the year, the presence of undisputed leaders in the semiconductor industry, and a valuation discount that remains significant relative to both emerging and developed peers.
  • In India, markets were dragged down by persistent tensions with the United States, particularly regarding the purchase of Russian oil, despite activity indicators that remain firmly in expansionary territory.
  • Mexico delivered a solid performance following the implementation of a law imposing new tariffs on Asian imports, primarily targeting Chinese companies. This move is viewed as a signal of President Sheinbaum’s willingness to comply with Trump’s requirements.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, our fund posted a positive performance in December, closing the year with a markedly positive return, both in absolute and relative terms.
  • Performance was mainly driven by our selection of technology stocks, particularly in South Korea and Taiwan. In this regard, companies exposed to the artificial intelligence theme such as SK Hynix, TSMC and Asia Vital Components made positive contributions.
  • Hyundai Motor was also among the main contributors to performance. In December, Hyundai Motor Group and Air Liquide announced the strengthening of their strategic partnership, expanding their collaboration to accelerate the development of a global hydrogen ecosystem. This partnership will allow the company to develop the commercialization of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) for logistics fleets and public buses, a key area of development for the company, setting a strong foundation for future growth.
  • After an excellent year, our Brazilian holdings Axia (Eletrobras) and Equatorial Energia slightly detracted from the fund’s performance during the month.
  • Finally, our Indian holdings posted a negative performance, in line with the subdued behavior of local markets over the period.

Outlook strategy

  • After years in the shadow of developed markets, EM Equities are showing signs of structural revival, supported by the USD weakness, continued rate cuts, improving corporate governance, clearer industrial policies, resilient earnings growth, and still-attractive valuations vs. developed markets.
  • The global backdrop for 2026 should remain constructive but increasingly selective: Moderate growth, easing inflation and interest rates are likely to favour earnings-driven returns, rewarding companies with structural growth, visible profit trajectories, and strong balance sheets - which constitutes the bulk of our Carmignac Emergents’ holdings.
  • The fund is well positioned to take advantage of this environment thanks to its balanced portfolio composed of quality-growth stocks linked to the high growth areas, complemented by quality stocks with more moderate growth but higher yield, backed by solid balance sheets and higher cash flow generation.
  • Asia remains a key pillar of the fund, particularly through exposure to the AI and semiconductor value chains, where structural demand for advanced computing power continues to accelerate. We maintain our positions in SK Hynix, TSMC, Asia Vital Components, well positioned to benefit from sustained investment in AI infrastructure.
  • China continues along a two-speed path, with growth stabilising but unlikely to re-accelerate meaningfully given its reluctance to deploy large-scale reflationary stimulus. Rather than broad market exposure, we focus on selective opportunities tied to new growth engines in innovation, robotics, advanced manufacturing (Horizon Robotics), and mobility (Didi), where companies aligned with policy priorities and global value chains continue to gain relevance.
  • Despite a challenging 2025, the long-term growth story in India and South-East Asia remains intact. In India, we maintain our decent exposure to high-quality domestic franchises in banking, insurance and consumption, trading at more reasonable valuations.
  • As for Latin America, following a strong yea, we took profits but retain a selective allocation to Mexico (winner of geopolitical tensions) and Brazil where political noise continues to create mispricing.
