"Gramercy Emerging Markets Debt Fund capitalized on the Fed's pivotal 25 bps rate cut through an active duration overweight and key sovereign bond outperformance in Brazil and South Africa."
Executive Summary
In September 2025, the Federal Reserve initiated a rate-cutting cycle with a 25 bps cut, signaling a policy pivot towards the softening labor market. Emerging market debt responded with strong performance across the board; EM hard currency sovereign bonds led with a 1.78% return, while EM local currency sovereign bonds returned 1.40%. The Gramercy Emerging Markets Debt Fund's performance was driven by its overweight to duration in investment-grade credit, strong local currency sovereign bond selection in Brazil and South Africa, and exposure to BB-rated sovereign and corporate credit. Underweights in Mexico and Peru served as minor detractors. While global geopolitical tensions and trade policy divergence remain key risks, the overall market environment remains constructive.
