"The fund underperformed its benchmark in Q3 2025 due to currency detraction, but the managers remain constructive on EM local debt, actively increasing foreign currency and duration exposures."
In Q3 2025, the Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (Class A) posted a 2.17% return, underperforming its benchmark, the JP Morgan GBI EM Global Diversified Index, which returned 2.80%. The underperformance was primarily driven by foreign currency exposure (specifically COP and TRY), though positive contributions came from interest rate positioning in Turkey, Colombia, and South Africa. Over the quarter, the Federal Reserve initiated rate cuts, and emerging market central banks continued their easing cycles amid moderating inflation. The portfolio managers increased the fund's foreign currency exposure (adding to COP, ZAR, and INR) and increased duration (adding to MXN, INR, and CLP), remaining constructive on the asset class due to favorable valuations and supportive structural tailwinds like a weakening US dollar.
