Q4 2024 Fund Commentary

Market commentary

Emerging markets delivered mixed results in the fourth quarter of 2024. Central bank policies helped to ease inflation, which benefited some economies, while others faced weak demand.

Indian equities declined because of market uncertainty, and as elevated valuations led to investors selling risk assets. South Korean equities also declined. The country’s major technology corporations reported weaker-than-expected earnings, and political instability led to currency depreciation and foreign capital outflows.

Conversely, Taiwan posted solid gains because of recovering global demand for semiconductors and continued benefits from artificial intelligence and high-performance computing trends.

China, the largest emerging market, declined slightly. Market sentiment remained cautious given the announcements of government stimulus packages. Corporate profit declines, deflationary pressure and geopolitical uncertainties also weighed on investor sentiment.

Performance

The Fund’s overweight exposure to Pop Mart International Group Ltd., Sunny Optical Technology Group Co. Ltd. and Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. had a positive impact on performance.

The Fund’s overweight exposure to Mahanagar Gas Ltd. and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. had a negative impact on performance.

At the sector level, consumer discretionary, financials and communication services had a positive impact on performance. Stock selection in the information technology sector had a negative impact.

Regionally, China and South Korea had the most positive impact on performance, while Malaysia and Taiwan had a negative impact.

Outlook

Emerging markets are trading at significant valuation discounts compared to developed markets. While China still faces challenges, its proactive policies towards green energy, electric vehicles and manufacturing could support a market rebound, in the sub-advisor’s view.

The Fund’s portfolio is balanced between growth, value and quality characteristics. The sub-advisor focuses on higher-quality stocks that, in the sub-advisor’s view, are trading at relatively inexpensive valuations and have higher growth prospects.
