"The BNY Mellon Global Emerging Markets Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q1 2026, driven by strong selection in consumer staples and information technology, despite geopolitical headwinds and regional weaknesses in India and China."
During the first quarter of 2026, the BNY Mellon Global Emerging Markets Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The fund's Class A shares achieved a NAV return of 0.48% (Class I returned 0.55%), while the benchmark index declined by 0.17%. Global emerging market equities faced a challenging environment, rising modestly in local currency terms but declining slightly in U.S. dollar terms. The market's early momentum in technology and commodity sectors was offset in March by escalating Middle East conflicts, which raised concerns about inflation, potential interest rate hikes, and economic slowing. Key positive performance contributors included Chroma ATE, which posted strong gains on solid 2025 results; Vista Energy, which benefited from rising oil prices; and Peruvian financial player Credicorp. Conversely, major detractors included HDFC Bank following the unexpected resignation of its chairman, Sea Limited due to elevated investment costs, and Mahindra & Mahindra amid oil price uncertainties. Additionally, the fund's decision not to hold Alibaba benefited relative performance, whereas holding MakeMyTrip (which was sold during the period) detracted due to AI disintermediation fears. The managers remain constructive on emerging market equities, noting significant valuation discounts relative to developed markets.
