Performance Commentary
- In this context, the fund delivered a negative performance, in line with its reference indicator.
- We notably suffered from the decline in Asian markets, with the main detractors being our South Korean holdings, notably Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Although Korean memory manufacturers have limited exposure to rising energy prices (electricity costs account for less than 2% of SK Hynix’s revenues), their share prices corrected significantly due to profit-taking following strong gains earlier in the year.
- Our Indian portfolio was also negatively impacted by rising energy prices in an uncertain geopolitical environment, notably affecting names such as Kotak Mahindra and Embassy.
- We also suffered from the weakness of platform businesses such as Didi and Tencent Music, which faced concerns around profitability in an increasingly competitive AI environment. We continue to monitor these positions closely and reassess their long-term potential.
- Conversely, we benefited from our lack of exposure to the Middle East and from our Taiwanese mid-cap positions, with Asia Vital Components, Lotes, and Elite Material reporting strong results and positive guidance for 2026.
Outlook and Investment Strategy
- Despite heightened geopolitical volatility, the structural investment case for emerging markets remains intact. While some short-term drivers — notably global growth momentum and US dollar weakness — have faced headwinds, emerging markets continue to benefit from robust earnings growth, attractive valuations, sustained technological momentum in Asia, and a supportive commodity backdrop in parts of Latin America.
- Emerging markets are no longer merely cyclical beneficiaries but increasingly act as key enablers of global innovation. Countries such as Korea and Taiwan remain indispensable to semiconductor and AI supply chains. This structural positioning continues to underpin long-term growth visibility across select segments of the market.
- With ongoing tensions, the market environment is becoming more discriminating, with performance increasingly driven by earnings visibility rather than broad market beta. This rising dispersion creates a favourable backdrop for selectivity, reinforcing the value of our disciplined, bottom-up stock selection approach.
- In this uncertain environment, the fund has demonstrated its resilience, supported by its selective positioning—avoiding exposure to the Middle East and vulnerable countries (Turkey, ASEAN), and instead favouring Latin America, an indirect beneficiary of higher energy prices, as well as exposure to electrification and energy transition themes.
- We have actively adjusted the portfolio, reducing our exposure to India, reflecting near-term headwinds including capital outflows, weaker liquidity, slowing earnings growth, and currency pressures, while maintaining our long-term conviction in the country. Conversely, we increased our exposure to Mexico through a new position in Tiendas BBB, a high-quality, entrepreneur-led discount retailer.
- The portfolio remains well balanced, combining innovative, high-growth companies with attractively valued businesses offering strong cash flow generation. We maintain meaningful exposure to AI enablers in Taiwan and Korea, while reinforcing our positions in companies such as CATL, which benefit from their strategic positioning at the intersection of electrification, AI-driven power demand, and energy storage solutions.
- In the current environment, we maintain a strong focus on risk management, particularly with regard to AI dynamics and energy sensitivity. Recent market dislocations and episodes of indiscriminate selling are creating attractive entry points, allowing us to reinforce high-conviction positions at compelling valuations.
