Market environment

  • In November, emerging markets declined, dragged down mainly by the underperformance of Asian markets (China, South Korea, Taiwan), while Latin American markets advanced, supported in particular by Brazil and Mexico.
  • The technology sector—from Asia to Wall Street—corrected over the month, affected by a combination of factors: stretched valuations in the United States, weakening expectations of Fed rate cuts, and persistent uncertainty around the true impact of artificial intelligence on corporate productivity and profitability.
  • This dynamic weighed more heavily on markets highly exposed to the AI value chain, such as Taiwan and South Korea, which rank among the most sensitive to the semiconductor cycle.
  • In China, October macroeconomic data deteriorated markedly: the decline in property prices deepened, while industrial production and investment disappointed. These indicators highlight the persistent fragility of the economy despite ongoing support measures.
  • In Brazil, markets appreciated, buoyed by easing inflation and a more accommodative communication from the central bank, which strengthened optimism regarding the continuation of monetary easing.

Performance commentary

  • In this environment, our strategy delivered a negative performance in November, underperforming its reference indicator.
  • The main detractor during the month was our position in the Chinese company Didi. The stock fell sharply at the beginning of the period, hurt by a negative market sentiment linked to elevated spending on the expansion of its food delivery operations in Latin America. It recovered toward month-end, supported by the release of solid quarterly results, which helped partially offset its earlier losses.
  • Our exposure to technology stocks also weighed on performance, particularly through our investments in Taiwan (TSMC, Lite-On) and South Korea, where SK Hynix delivered a negative contribution. The sector broadly suffered from a widespread correction.
  • Our investments in Southeast Asia (India, Indonesia, Singapore) also modestly detracted from performance.
  • Conversely, our positions in Brazil—particularly Eletrobras and Equatorial Energia—contributed positively and helped cushion the portfolio’s overall decline.

Outlook strategy

  • After several years of underperformance relative to developed markets, emerging-market equities are now showing signs of a structural recovery. We identify several supportive factors that could underpin a sustained rebound: a weaker US dollar, anticipated rate cuts, improving corporate governance, greater visibility on global trade flows, and resilient earnings growth.
  • Asia remains our largest regional allocation, with a targeted exposure to the AI value chain—most notably through SK Hynix and TSMC, two key players in the sector.
  • In China, we expect necessary policy support to materialize over the next 2–3 months, as a high comparison base and still-soft demand continue to weigh on growth. There, we maintain a selective approach focused on innovation leaders in the battery sector (CATL) and future mobility (Didi).
  • Latin America remains a strategic allocation for us, primarily anchored in Brazil and Mexico. We maintain strong convictions in Brazilian infrastructure companies and Mexican banks.
  • Although India has underperformed in the short term, we remain confident in its long-term growth potential. We maintain a targeted exposure to high-quality domestic companies in banking, insurance, and consumer sectors—areas largely shielded from tariff-related risks.
  • During the month, we took profits on several of this year’s strongest contributors to performance: SK Hynix (South Korea), Elite Material (Taiwan), and Equatorial Energia (Brazil).
