"The fund generated a solid 4.53% return in Q4, capping off a stellar 28.27% YTD performance. The managers enter 2026 highly constructive on Emerging Markets, driven by robust AI monetization trends, attractive valuations, and favorable macroeconomic backdrops."
The Allspring Emerging Markets Equity Advantage Fund returned 4.53% in Q4 2025, slightly underperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) return of 4.73%. For the full year, the fund delivered a strong performance of 28.27% (compared to the benchmark's 33.57%). Stock selection in China/Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Peru aided quarterly performance, while selection in Korea, Brazil, and South Africa detracted. Key positive contributors included Samsung Electronics, ASE Technology, and Shriram Finance, while Alibaba and NHPC acted as detractors. Looking to 2026, the team is highly constructive on EM equities, citing dissipating US trade headwinds, attractive valuations, de-escalating US-China relations, and robust opportunities in the AI supply chain.
