Quick Take
"The fund delivered strong outperformance in Q4 2025 driven by rate positioning and currency exposure. The outlook remains constructive for 2026 as global policy easing and a weakening US dollar support emerging market local debt."
Executive Summary
In Q4 2025, the Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (Class A) outperformed its benchmark, delivering a quarterly NAV return of 3.62% and a YTD return of 19.60%. Performance was driven by positive contributions from interest rate positioning (primarily in South Africa and Turkey) and FX exposure (primarily in the South African rand). During the quarter, the fund raised its foreign currency exposure to the Hungarian forint, Chinese yuan, and Chilean peso, and increased its duration exposure in South Africa and China. The management remains constructive on emerging market local debt heading into 2026, anticipating a supportive environment driven by rate cuts and a weakening US dollar, despite risks such as core inflation and trade policy uncertainty.
