Market environment

  • The MSCI EM index in EUR gained 5.3% in June as Taiwanese and Korean technology companies involved in the AI revolution rallied, and Indian stocks were strong after national elections.
  • Latin American markets were down, with Mexico declining after election results, and Lula spooking the markets amid fears of a deterioration in public finances in Brazil.
  • Chinese markets backtracked on the previous weeks’ rally due to gloomy economic data and concerns about the US elections.

Performance commentary

  • The Fund delivered a positive monthly return, outperforming its reference indicator.
  • Our Indian stocks performed extremely well across all sectors: Max Healthcare in healthcare, Jyoti CNC Automation in industrials, and TBO Tek in the consumer sector.
  • Our investments in Vietnam (FPT) and Turkey (BIM) also drove performance.
  • However, we suffered somewhat from weakness in our Chinese stocks (Yadea).

Outlook strategy

  • We still have an optimistic view of emerging market small and mid-caps due to some encouraging macroeconomic data, especially in Latin America and South-East Asia on which the Fund is focused.
  • The vast emerging world presents numerous opportunities across all regions and sectors.
  • IPOs are another source of opportunities for the Fund. During the month we signed up to the successful IPO of TBO Tek, an online travel platform in India.
  • India remains our heaviest regional weighting and is an excellent local market in which to find long-term growth stocks.
  • In response to the development of artificial intelligence, we are maintaining our exposure to the Asian (Taiwanese, Korean) semiconductor market through companies such as Gold Circuit Electronics and Lotes, a Taiwanese electronic components manufacturer.
