Market Environment

  • Emerging markets continued to advance in August, gaining 3.4% in USD terms, supported by a broad recovery across Asia. Emerging Asia rose 3.3%, while Latin America declined by 1.2%, resulting in meaningful regional dispersion during the month.
  • North Asian technology markets rebounded strongly following July’s correction. South Korea was the standout performer, with the KOSPI gaining 3.4% in local-currency terms, while Taiwan also benefited from renewed strength across the AI infrastructure and semiconductor value chain.
  • Chinese markets delivered mixed performances as domestic activity continued to soften. Mainland equities rose modestly, while Hong Kong declined. Both manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMIs fell into contraction territory. While policymakers have signaled greater fiscal and counter-cyclical support, he authorities remain reluctant to deploy large-scale stimulus,
  • India declined by 1.5% despite resilient domestic fundamentals, as renewed geopolitical tensions, higher oil and commodity prices and rising inflation weighed on sentiment. Underlying economic activity remained robust, with real GDP expanding by 7.8%, while the current-account deficit remained contained at just 0.5% of GDP despite higher energy prices.
  • Latin America consolidated after its strong July performance. Brazil declined modestly as the presidential campaign moved into focus, with polls continuing to show President Lula ahead of Flávio Bolsonaro but the race tightening and investors increasingly focused on the fiscal implications of the election.

Performance Commentary

  • Against this backdrop, the Fund delivered a positive performance, benefiting from the rebound in Asian technology. Active position sizing and the diversification of our exposure towards less crowded segments of the technology value chain also contributed positively.
  • Our Taiwanese holdings were the main contributors to performance, led by Asia Vital Components, Universal Microwave Technology, Delta Electronics, BizLink and Voltronic Power. These companies provide diversified exposure across the AI infrastructure value chain, including cooling, connectivity, power management and semiconductor equipment.
  • Performance was also supported by a broader range of positions beyond technology, including Hyundai Motor in South Korea, Mexican retailer Tiendas BBB, and selected Indian holdings, highlighting the diversification of the Fund’s sources of return.
  • The Fund nevertheless modestly underperformed its reference indicator, primarily due to weakness in some of our Chinese holdings. CATL was the largest detractor, while Vipshop and Tencent also weighed on our performance.

Outlook and Investment Strategy

  • We remain constructive on emerging-market equities, while maintaining a selective approach and strict valuation discipline. The asset class continues to benefit from stronger earnings growth than developed markets, attractive relative valuations and exposure to structural trends ranging from AI and advanced manufacturing to electrification and power infrastructure.
  • AI hardware remains a core conviction, but our focus is increasingly shifting towards the next bottlenecks in the investment cycle. We continue to diversify beyond memory and compute towards areas such as power, cooling, connectivity, advanced packaging and semiconductor equipment, while retaining exposure to our highest-conviction technology leaders.
  • We also continue to broaden the Fund’s sources of alpha beyond AI and technology. In China, we favour companies exposed to advanced manufacturing and technological self-sufficiency alongside selected consumer and internet franchises. In Latin America, we retain exposure to domestic growth opportunities, while in India we remain underweight but are selectively adding high-quality businesses, notably in the healthcare space, as valuations become more attractive.
  • We continue to actively manage position sizes during the month, adding to SK Square following the correction and selectively increasing Montage Technology, Grand Process Technology and Beike, while taking some profits in Asia Vital Components and Anta Sports after their strong performance.
  • Portfolio balance and valuation discipline remain central to our approach, with risk actively allocated towards the areas where our conviction and expected upside are strongest.
