"The Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q2 2025, posting a 9.14% return driven by strong interest rate positioning. Managers are highly constructive on emerging market debt for the remainder of 2025, supported by a weakening US dollar and favorable growth differentials."
In the second quarter of 2025, the Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund delivered strong absolute and relative performance. The fund's Class A shares returned 9.14% at net asset value (NAV), outperforming the benchmark JP Morgan GBI EM Global Diversified Index, which returned 7.62%. This positive outcome was primarily driven by the fund's interest rate positioning, particularly in Turkey, Brazil, and South Africa. Conversely, the fund's foreign currency exposure detracted from relative performance, mainly due to challenges in the Turkish Lira, Thai Baht, and Indian Rupee. Managers Hemant Baijal, Jason Martin, and Wim Vandenhoeck emphasized a significant global shift characterized by a weakening US dollar (down 10.7% YTD) and slowing US growth, which has challenged the long-standing theme of US exceptionalism. This shift has allowed emerging market central banks to focus on domestic economic growth with more aggressive easing cycles. To capitalize on this evolving macro landscape, the managers increased foreign currency exposure in key areas, notably adding to the Mexican peso, Brazilian real, and South African rand, while reducing duration exposure in Poland, Mexico, and Peru. The team maintains a highly constructive outlook for the asset class.
