The Allspring Emerging Markets Equity Advantage Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q3 2025, returning 10.98% versus 10.64% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The fund benefited from strong stock selection in communication services, information technology, and consumer discretionary sectors, particularly in India, Taiwan, and China/Hong Kong. Key contributors included Samsung Electronics, which delivered strong performance due to narrowing technology gaps in high bandwidth memory and robust demand for memory products. Alibaba Group also performed well on increasing confidence in its long-term earnings growth outlook and strategic focus on e-commerce and AI/cloud services. Contemporary Amperex Technology outperformed on resilient EV battery demand and policy support for energy storage systems. The managers remain constructive on emerging markets due to improved political visibility, accommodative policies, favorable economic growth premium, and low investor positioning.
