Q1 2025 Fund Commentary

Market commentary

Emerging markets faced a complex economic environment during the first quarter. Central banks continued to lower interest rates to support growth during the global trade dispute. Global growth forecasts were revised downward because of the trade tensions. Inflation rates in emerging markets remained elevated, although they showed signs of moderating.

Despite these challenges, emerging markets equities gained. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index posted a total return of 2.97%, outperforming the S&P 500 Index. Chinese equities posted a small loss amid tariff concerns, and despite government stimulus and artificial intelligence innovations. Brazil and Mexico gained over the quarter.

The consumer discretionary and communication services sectors posted strong gains, driven by the rally in Chinese stocks. The information technology sector declined as investors were concerned about issues among U.S. technology companies.

Performance

The Fund’s relative overweight exposure to Pop Mart International Group Ltd., Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology Co. Ltd. and AAC Technologies Holdings Inc. was positive for performance. Relative underweight exposure to Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Xiaomi Corp. and overweight exposure to PT Adaro Energy TBK was negative for performance.

At the sector level, stock selection in consumer discretionary, industrials and financials was positive for performance, as were value and growth stocks. Exposure to energy was negative for performance.

At a geographic level, exposure to China, India and Greece was positive for performance, while exposure to Taiwan and South Africa was negative.

Portfolio activity

Portfolio activity was an outcome of the sub-advisor’s process driven by stock selection, optimization and a vetting process run on a daily basis.
