Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Aikya's emerging markets fund underperformed in October despite positive returns, missing semiconductor rally due to valuation discipline."

Executive Summary

Aikya's Global Emerging Markets Fund posted positive returns in October 2025 but underperformed the benchmark due to minimal exposure to semiconductor stocks that drove market gains. The fund's investment approach centers on two pillars: Quality and Valuation, investing only in high-quality companies at sensible prices. While AI excitement propelled Taiwanese and Korean semiconductor stocks to record highs, Aikya maintained valuation discipline rather than chasing momentum in names like TSMC, SK Hynix, and Samsung. The strategy benefited from Bank Central Asia in Indonesia as government sentiment improved, and outperformed in China through defensive positioning with holdings like Centre Testing posting gains despite broader market correction. Latin American holdings showed mixed results, with Raia Drogasil and Banco de Chile advancing while Natura and FEMSA declined due to consumer slowdowns in Brazil and Mexico. The fund emphasizes that monthly performance is insufficient for meaningful conclusions, focusing on long-term absolute returns with strong downside protection through quality-focused stock selection.
