SICAV
Emerging Markets Discovery Equity Fund
A focused, yet well-diversified, actively managed all-cap fund of typically 50-80 emerging markets companies. We seek to identify "forgotten" stocks that are under-owned and under-researched by mainstream investors, and which we believe are positioned to benefit from a fundamental re-rating. The fund is categorised as Article 8 under Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

28-Feb-2025 - Ernest Yeung, Portfolio Manager,
Emerging markets may face near-term volatility given heightened geopolitical and trade risks. However, we think prospects still appear promising given the trajectory of interest rate cuts and the continued economic recovery. Structural developments, such as the need for increased infrastructure spending and the green transition, are also long-term positive catalysts.

Overview
Strategy
Fund Summary
We look for signs of positive fundamental change among stable, but unloved, businesses that we believe are facing unwarranted scepticism from investors. Meeting company management is central to our approach, as we aim to identify quality teams with strategic vision, a roadmap for success and the ability to execute. The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the fund's commitment to maintain at least 10% of the value of its portfolio invested in Sustainable Investments, as defined by the SFDR. Additionally, we apply a proprietary responsible screen (exclusion list). The manager is not constrained by the fund’s benchmark, which is used for performance comparison purposes only.

Current Year Performance

Annualised Performance

28-Feb-2025 - Ernest Yeung, Portfolio Manager,
Emerging market equities advanced in February, benefiting from signs of fading US economic exceptionalism and optimism about artificial intelligence (AI) developments in China. However, intensifying trade war risks capped the gains. Within the portfolio, our information technology stock picks buoyed performance. Our underweight exposure to a contract chipmaker was helpful as its shares retreated on fears that the emergence of a Chinese startup may dampen investments in AI infrastructure. A Chinese technology hardware holding fared well on forecasts of better margins and expectations for faster autonomous driving adoption. By country, our lighter exposure to the struggling Indian market lifted relative results. Our choice of stocks there was supportive too as a non-bank financial company rose after the central bank relaxed bank lending rules. Conversely, stock selection in China was a major detractor, largely as we do not hold several technology majors that benefited from the domestic AI-driven rally. However, good performance from several Chinese internet holdings mitigated our losses. An online property brokerage gained on signs of stabilisation in the property market, while better-than-expected earnings and positive news flow buoyed an e-commerce company. Meanwhile, our preferences in financials were costly too. An Indonesian lender tracked weakness across the broader market, but we think it remains a well-run and profitable bank.
31-Jan-2024 - Ernest Yeung, Portfolio Manager,
Financials remains our biggest absolute allocation and our largest overweight versus the benchmark. We added to several of our emerging market bank holdings, which we believe have strong capital buffers, low-risk balance sheets, and high-quality franchises, positioning them well to gain market share and accelerate loan growth. We also have a considerable absolute allocation in consumer discretionary, where we own “forgotten” names with self-help stories and idiosyncratic drivers. Recently, we further increased our exposure to consumer discretionary by buying more shares in several of our South Korean and Chinese holdings within the auto supply chain and travel sectors.
31-Jan-2024 - Ernest Yeung, Portfolio Manager,
China remains the portfolio’s biggest country position in absolute terms, but we reduced our overall exposure over the month after we sold our stake in a food and beverage business. We think that cyclical and structural headwinds could pressure the company’s revenues, while margin expansion may moderate amid rising input costs. Elsewhere, we raised our allocation and overweight exposure to Thailand by initiating a position in a major telecommunications company. We believe that the recent wave of consolidation within the Thai telecoms segment could generate value.
