Market environment

  • China’s weak economy remains a burden, as reflected in the publication of lower retail sales and a fall in the NBS manufacturing index.

  • May was also notable for elections in a number of countries (India, South Africa and Mexico), which seem to have increased regional volatility.

  • Brazil’s central bank cut its key interest rate by 25 bps, as opposed to the 50 bps that had been expected, weighing on the national currency and markets.

  • Emerging markets were down over the month as China and Brazil underperformed.

Performance commentary

  • The Fund posted a flat performance for the month, though beat its reference indicator.
  • Our portfolio of Asian industrial stocks such as Taskus (Philippines), SITC International (Hong Kong) and Jyoti CNC Automation (India) appreciated.
  • Indian markets’ weakness adversely affected our healthcare (Entero HealthCare and Max Healthcare) and consumer discretionary (Juniper Hotels and Eureka Forbes) stocks.

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.
  • 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 AI, we are maintaining our exposure to the semiconductor market through companies such as Gold Circuit Electronics, a Taiwanese IT parts manufacturer.
  • We opened two new positions in May: DB Insurance (South Korea) and Lotes (Taiwan).
