"Harding Loevner outperformed in Q3 2025 by emphasizing financially robust compounders with deep competitive moats, successfully dodging margin-destroying price wars while trimming weaker regional competitors."
Harding Loevner's Emerging Markets Equity Composite returned 11.8% (gross) in Q3 2025, outperforming the MSCI EM Index's 11.0%. The report focuses heavily on the concept of 'involution' (neijuan) in China—a destructive deflationary cycle of overcapacity and price-cutting. The fund adjusted its portfolio by selling businesses hit hard by margin erosion or rising geographic competition (JD.com and MercadoLibre) and deploying capital into dominant, high-barrier growth businesses (Bochu in China and MakeMyTrip in India). Tech holdings in Taiwan and Korea continue to benefit from global AI data center builds, while Indian IT service giants face near-term H-1B fee headwinds and threat perceptions from AI coding tools.
