Commentary
Emerging markets extended their rally in June as global authorities continued to announce unprecedented levels of
monetary and fiscal stimulus. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose +7.35% while the RWC Global Emerging
Equity Fund rose +10.46%. North Asian markets rallied sharply with China, Taiwan and South Korea up +8.7%,
9.2% and 7.9%, respectively. Macroeconomic data remained encouraging across the region. Chinese PMIs were in
expansionary territory, industrial production posted a solid recovery of 4.4% year-on-year and export data
increased +3.1% month-on-month. South Korean technology exports rose +14.0% month-on-month. India rose
+6.8% during the month despite economic data remaining under pressure. However, mobility data has improved
considerably suggesting an economic recovery is imminent. Brazil rose +7.1% as the Central Bank lowered interest
rates by 75 bps to 2.25%. The country’s current account posted a $3.1 b surplus during the month and inflation
came in below expectations.
Russia was a positive contributor to performance as the oil price recovered +16.5% to $40 per barrel and the
Central Bank continued its accommodative stance by cutting interest rates by 100bps to 4.5%. Yandex rose
+24.3% as the company released a strong second quarter trading update with revenues from its taxi business
beating expectations, rising 40% year-on-year. The company also raised $800m in order to buy-out Sberbank’s
stake in Yandex Market which should allow it to leverage its other delivery capabilities for e-commerce and enter
new verticals. The fund’s copper theme exposure was also a contributor to performance as the copper price
rallied +11.9% to $2.74/lb. Covid-19 has caused significant supply disruptions in addition to factors such as
decreasing ore grades while demand begins to return to normal as lockdown policies ease. First Quantum and
KAZ Minerals rose +36.1% and +5.5%, respectively. Mercado Libre continued its strong performance, rising
another +15.8% during the month as e-commerce data in Latin America remained encouraging.
There were a few single stock detractors during the month. Hangzhou Robam Appliances fell -6.3% as the stock
price corrected after strong performance since March. The company continues to be a leader in the small
appliances sector in China and is now focusing on developing its e-commerce distribution channel. BRF, one of
Brazil’s leading pork and poultry producers, fell -9.1% despite positive news flow regarding re-opening of its plants.
African Swine Fever should also continue to boost the company’s margins due to protein substitution.
