"While MENA markets lagged emerging markets in 2025, Vergent sees a highly constructive opportunity set for 2026 driven by reset valuations and fiscal pragmatism, with key overweights in Qatar and Egypt."
Vergent Asset Management's Q4 2025 letter outlines a constructive outlook for the MENA strategy entering 2026, despite regional underperformance in 2025 due to strong USD exposure, oil headwinds, and low AI exposure. The manager highlights reset valuations, structural reforms, and Saudi Arabia's giga-project recalibration as key support pillars. The portfolio is positioned with major overweights in Qatar (ahead of its 2027 LNG windfall) and Egypt, while remaining underweight in Kuwait, the UAE (reducing financials), and modestly underweight in Saudi Arabia where bottom-up selection remains focused on financials, insurance, and industrials.
