"The fund performed strongly in Q3 2025 with a 13.32% return, driven by AI hardware demand and Chinese market stabilization, while actively reshaping the portfolio toward higher-conviction growth names."
Executive Summary
The Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets Equities Fund generated a solid return of 13.32% in Q3 2025, outperforming its benchmark's 10.95% return. Strong performance was largely driven by hardware chipmakers capitalizing on AI demands and a recovery in China and Korea. Key updates include switching HK-listed CATL shares into the cheaper A-share line, and establishing new positions in Eletrobras, DiDi Global, FPT, Hyundai Glovis, Kanzhun, and Sanhua Intelligent Controls, while fully exiting NAVER, Shenzhou International, and Haier Smart Home. High real rates remain a headwind in Brazil, but the overall emerging market setup looks attractive due to robust company balance sheets and positive governance reforms.
