Performance commentary
- In this context, the fund delivered a negative performance, but nevertheless exceeded its reference indicator.
- Our portfolio was penalised by our significant exposure to the Indian markets, particularly small and mid-caps, which fell indiscriminately after three years of growth. In this context, our holdings in International Gemmological, Brainbees and Bansal Wire Industries weighed on the fund's performance. However, this correction seems healthy to us, especially given that valuations had reached historic highs.
- Our main position, TSMC, suffered from the downturn in the semiconductor sector, but also from fears surrounding significant US tariffs on chip imports.
- Finally, our portfolio benefited from its selection of South Korean stocks, such as F&F Co and Soulbrain Co, which rose after a difficult 2024.
Outlook strategy
- Emerging Asia is a vast and diverse universe that offers fertile ground for stock picking and attractive growth prospects.
- We remain constructive on emerging small and mid-caps due to encouraging macroeconomic indicators, where we are mainly positioned. Nevertheless, we believe that the return of Donald Trump represents a risk for emerging economies.
- India remains our main geographical weighting and an excellent local market for finding long-term growth stocks. Our trip to India has confirmed our view of the country's promising prospects and the recent correction offers us some interesting entry points. We are therefore taking advantage of the recent correction in the Indian indices to gradually strengthen our positions that are attractively valued.
- In this respect, we have initiated a position in Clean Science and Technology, a company specialising in the manufacture of chemical products.
- Finally, we maintain significant exposure to artificial intelligence stocks, particularly to companies in the semiconductor value chain in Taiwan and Korea.
- Nevertheless, in the short term, we remain cautious about India and AI due to their recent strong performance.
