"The FEM strategy delivered strong gains in Egypt and Malaysia while actively reducing exposure to policy-impacted names in Vietnam, the US, and Indonesia to reallocate capital into highly prospective CEE and Middle Eastern opportunities."
Executive Summary
In Q3 2025, the FEM strategy navigated a dual-speed market environment. Top country contributors included Egypt, Vietnam, and Poland, while Indonesia, Lithuania, and the Philippines lagged. Key strong performers were IDHC (benefiting from Egypt's improving macro backdrop and dividend restarts) and Kelington (boosted by European semiconductor contract wins). The manager actively managed risks by completely exiting Vietnam's HDB Bank (due to stretched valuations) and Hikma Pharmaceuticals (due to US policy headwinds), alongside a reduction in Indonesian exposure. The outlook remains constructively focused on selective deployment in the Middle East, Africa, and CEE small/mid-caps.
