Market environment

  • Emerging markets delivered modestly positive performance in June, against a backdrop of significant regional divergence. Taiwan, mainland Chinese A-shares and India continued to advance, while Hong Kong underperformed and South Korea paused following its strong rally in recent months. This dispersion continues to provide a favourable environment for active management driven by stock selection.
  • In South Korea, technology stocks experienced a more volatile month as profit-taking followed an exceptional run. Despite this consolidation, sector fundamentals remain very strong, supported by structurally robust demand for AI-related memory, resilient semiconductor exports and continued positive earnings revisions.
  • The divergence between mainland China and Hong Kong widened further. Mainland Chinese equities continued to benefit from policy support, capital inflows into strategic sectors and accelerating investment in semiconductors, optical networking and AI infrastructure. By contrast, Hong Kong, with its greater exposure to internet, electric vehicle and consumer-related stocks, was held back by weaker earnings momentum.
  • In Latin America, markets remained relatively resilient despite a mixed macroeconomic backdrop. In Brazil, the Central Bank lowered the Selic policy rate by 25 basis points to 14.25%, in line with expectations, while slightly raising its inflation forecasts.

Performance commentary

  • The fund delivered positive absolute and relative performance in June, supported by a market environment that remained favourable for companies exposed to AI, semiconductors and memory.
  • Our South Korean portfolio was one of the main performance drivers. SK Hynix and SK Square continued to benefit from strong demand for AI-related memory products, while Samsung Electronics also contributed positively as the outlook for the semiconductor sector continued to improve.
  • In Taiwan, Voltronic Power was among the top contributors. During its investor conference, management delivered reassuring commentary, highlighting new growth opportunities in ultra-fast EV charging infrastructure (800V/1000V) and power supply solutions for AI data centres.
  • Our Latin American portfolio also contributed positively to performance, driven by the strong performances of Tiendas BBB, Axia Energia and Grupo Banorte.
  • By contrast, Hyundai Motor detracted from performance as the outlook for its automotive business became less favourable.

Outlook strategy

  • Against a backdrop of gradually easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and normalising energy prices, the structural drivers underpinning the asset class remain firmly in place. Emerging markets continue to benefit from stronger earnings growth than developed markets, while valuations remain attractive.
  • We continue to favour companies exposed to long-term structural growth themes, particularly the industrial transformation, artificial intelligence and the energy transition. Accordingly, we maintain significant exposure to Asian industrial companies operating across the AI value chain, as well as high-quality domestic businesses in Latin America, while remaining disciplined on valuations and risk management.
  • During the month, we significantly rebalanced our exposure to the memory sector. Following the exceptional performance of memory-related stocks, we reduced our positions in SK Hynix and SK Square as part of our disciplined approach to risk and portfolio concentration. While we remain highly constructive on the sector's long-term outlook—supported by structurally strong AI-driven demand and exceptional cash generation—we believe that a large portion of these positives is now reflected in valuations. Although further upside remains, we expect the pace of re-rating to be more moderate than over the past twelve months.
  • At the same time, we increased our position in Samsung Electronics. Beyond its ability to gain market share in the next generation of HBM4 memory, Samsung is also well positioned to benefit from an improving foundry business, as several hyperscalers are increasingly turning to the company amid persistent capacity constraints at TSMC.
  • In Mexico, we slightly reduced our position in Banorte following the initiation of a new position in Tiendas BBB.
