Market environment

  • February was marked by a broader risk-off environment, initially driven by a sell-off in the software sector amid concerns about AI’s impact on employment, and later amplified by renewed geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran. The introduction of a 10% global tariff, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to suspend previous discretionary tariffs, increased uncertainty, and reinforced market caution.
  • In the United States, the Fed’s January minutes were hawkish, signaling limited room for near-term rate cuts and leaving open the possibility of further tightening if inflation persists. Economic data remained solid, with resilient job creation and inflation measures still above expectations.
  • Sovereign bonds rallied: the US 10-year yield fell by 29bps to below 4%, while the German 10-year Bund yield declined by 19bps. In credit markets, spreads widened, with the iTraxx Xover index rising 13bps to 260bps.
  • Emerging debt delivered mixed performance in a more volatile environment. Hard-currency sovereign bonds posted positive returns, supported by the strong rally in US Treasuries, which offset moderate spread widening. Local currency debt also generated positive but dispersed returns, with Asia and EMEA leading performance while Latin America lagged.
  • EM equities posted strong gains, driven by Asian markets, particularly Korea, Taiwan and China, supported by the technology and semiconductor sectors.
  • On currencies, emerging market currencies broadly appreciated in February despite a stable US dollar. Gains were widespread, especially in Latin America, where the Argentine peso, Brazilian real and Mexican peso outperformed.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month, the Fund delivered a positive performance, outperforming its reference indicator mainly driven by our equity exposure.
  • The Fund’s hard-currency sovereign exposure detracted from overall performance, mainly due to positions in Egypt and Argentina, while our credit protections helped partially offset these losses.
  • On the Equity side, performance was mainly driven by Korean technology stocks exposed to AI-related hardware, notably SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, which both reported strong earnings growth and positive outlooks. Samsung also unveiled its “AI-Driven Factories” strategy, aimed at transforming all its production sites through AI by 2030. Taiwan also contributed positively, supported by TSMC, the world’s leading semiconductor foundry and a key beneficiary of global AI-related chip demand.
  • Local rates generated positive returns, supported by our long positions in South African, Polish and Hungarian bonds.
  • Currencies were a strong driver of performance, notably the South African rand (ZAR) and the Philippine peso (PHP).

Outlook strategy

  • Despite an environment shaped by heightened geopolitical tensions, emerging market assets remains attractive, supported by solid fundamentals, improving external balances and declining inflation. We maintain a constructive view on emerging market assets. We maintained a moderate level of equity exposure before reducing it at the end of the period to 24% amid geopolitical tensions pick up. We also slightly reduced modified duration, lowered from 220 to 150bps, across local and hard-currency bonds.
  • We remain selectively exposed to local currency debt, favoring markets with attractive real yields such as Poland and South Africa, while slightly reducing our exposure to Eastern Europe and initiating a small position in Indian local rates. Given geopolitical tensions we tactically reduced some local debt exposure.
  • Hard-currency sovereign debt continues to offer attractive carry, with yields above long-term averages and supported by solid fundamentals. We therefore remain positioned in selected high-yield issues offering compelling opportunities, notably Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt and Romania.
  • Carry remains attractive, particularly in the energy and financial sectors. Our exposure is focused on high-yield issuers, with an emphasis on BB- and B-rated credits, while remaining underweight investment grade given tight spreads. In an environment of tight valuations, we increased slightly our level of credit protection.
  • On equities, we maintain a positive bias, focusing on companies with structural growth, high earnings visibility and strong balance sheets. Asia remains a core pillar of the portfolio, notably through exposure to the artificial intelligence value chain, with high-conviction positions in SK Hynix and TSMC, alongside diversification into China, India and Latin America.
  • Finally, we maintain a significant exposure to the euro (around 55%) and have slightly increased our US dollar exposure (around 8%). We actively manage our EM currency exposure, notably the South African rand, increasing the Chinese renminbi and trimming the Chilean peso after its strong rally. At the end of the period we reduced EM currencies exposure to derisk the portfolio.
