Performance commentary
The Fund delivered a positive return, benefitting from our significant allocation to Indian markets. Our Indian financial stocks, PB Fintech and KFin Technologies, were up, as were our industrial names such as Sterling & Wilson Renewable and Inox India. However, we were somewhat disappointed with Juniper Hotels and Sapphire Foods India. Chinese ebike manufacturer Yadea raised the Fund’s performance, but our Latin American investments proved detrimental. The latter included Alupar Investimento and Fibra Terrafina.Outlook strategy
We still have an optimistic view of emerging market small and mid-caps due to some encouraging macroeconomic data, especially in Latin America and South-East Asia on which the Fund is focused. The vast emerging world presents numerous opportunities across all regions and sectors. Macroeconomic uncertainties abound, but some excellent investment opportunities can be found in a multitude of diverse themes ranging from domestic consumer spending to IT services and commodities. India remains our heaviest regional weighting and is an excellent local market in which to find long-term growth stocks, especially in the consumer, finance and new technology sectors, although we have to be aware of overpricing. During the month we opened two positions in India: WNS Holdings, a business process management company; and Asia Commercial Bank. Given what is at stake with artificial intelligence, we are maintaining our exposure to the semiconductor market through companies such as Gold Circuit Electronics, a Taiwanese IT parts manufacturer. Lastly, we are keeping significant Latin American exposure to diversify the portfolio and take advantage of secular trends such as nearshoring to Mexico, and rising commodity prices, which benefits commodity-producing countries like Brazil.Performance Overview

Market environment
Emerging markets gained ground in April (+1.73% in EUR), unlike developed markets. The main push came from China, where the Hang Seng was up 8.54% and the CSI 300 mainland index 3.20%. China had published some encouraging economic data including the Caixin manufacturing index, which stood in expansionary territory at 51.4. The global economy’s resilience helped China to also post above-forecast Q1 GDP growth (+5.3% vs 5%). As far as geopolitical tensions go, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s recent visit illustrates an improvement in communications between the two countries. Elsewhere in Asia, India’s markets were up (BSE SENSEX 30 +2.10% in EUR) and South Korea’s were down (Kospi -3.54% in EUR). In Latin America, Mexican (-2.57% for the Mexico IPC) and Brazilian (-4.12% for the Bovespa) markets also fell in April.
