Q2 2025 Fund Commentary

Market commentary

Emerging markets navigated a challenging environment over the second quarter. Many central banks held interest rates steady, while signalling the potential for upcoming rate cuts to support slowing growth. The global gross domestic product outlook was lowered because of trade uncertainty and inflation.

Emerging markets equities gained. Latin American markets led, with Brazil and Mexico outperforming. Asian markets, including Taiwan, India and South Korea, benefited from renewed foreign investment as U.S. tariff pressures temporarily eased.

The industrials and financials sectors outperformed because of infrastructure demand and relatively strong domestic consumption. The information technology and consumer discretionary sectors underperformed because of tariff tensions. Volatility remained elevated.

Performance

Overweight exposure to HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co. Ltd., Pop Mart International Group Ltd. and Korea Electric Power Corp. was positive for performance. HD Korea Shipbuilding benefited from rising global ship demand and new orders for high-tech vessels. Pop Mart International reported robust sales growth in collectible figurines and expanded its international footprint. Korea Electric Power reported improving business fundamentals.

Overweight exposure to AAC Technologies Holdings Inc. and Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Co. Ltd. was negative for the Fund’s performance. AAC Technologies was impacted by weaker global smartphone volumes and margin pressure. Despite higher oil prices, Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical was affected by narrower chemical margins and a unexciting earnings outlook.

At the sector level, stock selection in financials, utilities and consumer discretionary was positive for the Fund’s performance. Underweight exposure to consumer discretionary was also positive for performance. Stock selection in materials was negative for the Fund’s performance.

At the regional level, exposure to South Korea and Taiwan was positive for performance, particularly within industrials. Selection in Brazil also made a positive impact on performance. Security selection in Mexico was negative for performance.

At the factor level, exposure to growth and value stocks was most positive for performance. Informed investor and quality factor stocks also contributed to performance. The Fund’s exposure to stock-specific risk was negative for performance.

Portfolio activity

Activity within the Fund was the outcome of the sub-advisor’s disciplined process, which is driven by stock selection, optimization and vetting.
