"AFC funds delivered a strong August performance, powered by macro turnarounds in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, alongside a booming infrastructure and FDI landscape in Vietnam."
Executive Summary
Asia Frontier Capital's funds posted strong gains in August 2025, supported by the lifting of U.S. reciprocal tariff overhangs and sharp domestic growth dynamics. In Bangladesh, the macroeconomy is bottoming out with current accounts in surplus, encouraging the fund to increase its weight in high-quality commercial banks. Sri Lankan bank holdings posted phenomenal profit surges. In Vietnam, robust liquidity drove the VN-Index to an all-time high of 1,682.21, reinforced by record FDI registrations ($21.5bn in 1H25) and a massive USD 48 billion infrastructure initiative. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan bank and exchange holdings continue to outperform due to stable growth, capex completions, and reinstated dividend payments.
