Market environment

  • The emerging equities markets fell back in March, but nevertheless outperformed the developed market indices. (Hang Seng -3.0%, KOSPI -6.3%, BSE SENSEX +4.2%, BOVESPA +4.6%).
  • On the geopolitical front, Donald Trump's administration continues to threaten its main trading partners by increasing tariffs in many sectors, including the automotive industry.
  • The National People's Congress met for the annual ‘Two Sessions’ to decide the country's policy direction and announce its growth target of +5% for the year 2025.
  • The government has stated its intention to support the consumer, marking a major shift in the country's growth model, which is now centred on domestic consumption.
  • In South Korea, the financial regulator has reinstated short selling. Measures had been put in place in November 2023 following illegal short selling offences. The lifting of restrictions is intended to encourage the comeback of institutional investors.
  • Finally, in India, after several months of underperformance, the markets have experienced a technical rebound.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the fund posted a negative performance, as did its reference indicator.
  • Our main detractor was Taiwan's TSMC, following the downward trend of the American tech giants, penalised by global economic uncertainties. As a result, our positions in Elite Material and Lite-On also had a negative impact on our portfolio.
  • Our portfolio of Chinese stocks weighed on the fund's good performance. We can mention the decline in the stock of Beike, a provider of transactional services in the real estate sector, which saw its stock fall following the publication of its quarterly results, which were disappointing, particularly in terms of profitability.
  • In India, the price of Kotak Mahindra stock continued to rise in 2025, benefiting from the appointment of a new chief technology officer, a major turning point in the bank's technological leadership.
  • Finally, our Latin American portfolio was unable to support the portfolio over the period, as was the case with the MercadoLibre stock, which fell back in March after a strong start to the year.

Outlook strategy

  • Despite the uncertainties related to D. Trump's policies, we remain constructive on emerging equities, believing that current valuations reflect a pessimistic scenario. Moreover, emerging markets are benefiting from the uncertainty in the United States: Trump's policies seem to have the opposite effect, benefiting emerging markets.
  • We remain constructive on China, given the change in perception. The markets realise that geopolitical tensions are hurting China but are not destroying it. Moreover, technological progress, particularly in AI and productivity, should provide further stimulus to the economy. This is why we want to maintain a decent exposure to China, with a slight underweight. Our Chinese portfolio is mainly composed of technology/innovative companies. Conversely, we avoid the old economy and cyclical sectors.
  • We are maintaining a significant allocation to India, where the long-term outlook remains promising (strong growth, political stability, healthy current account) despite the recent weakness. Our trip to India confirmed the country's promising outlook and the recent correction offers us interesting entry points on stocks that we are following.
  • We took advantage of this correction to increase our exposure to India by strengthening our positions in the e-commerce, tech and insurance sectors, which have fallen sharply. We are increasing our stake in PB Fintech (Policybazaar), the leader in online insurance services, capturing 21% of all new insurance products sold in India thanks to its unique platform.
  • Finally, we remain constructive on our Latin American portfolio, where valuations remain attractive. Despite the tariff risks, we remain constructive on Mexico. President Sheinbaum has managed to maintain good relations with D. Trump. Meanwhile, in Brazil, despite the significant rebound since the beginning of the year, we are maintaining our Brazilian stocks (particularly in energy infrastructure companies) due to their attractive risk/return profile.
