"The BNY Mellon Global Emerging Markets Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q2 2025 due to strong stock selection in consumer discretionary, IT, and financials, navigating extreme trade-tariff-induced volatility."
During the second quarter of 2025, the BNY Mellon Global Emerging Markets Fund outperformed its benchmark index, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The quarter was marked by extreme initial volatility in April, triggered by the US administration's 'Liberation Day' tariff announcements on all US trading partners, which led to a global sell-off. Markets subsequently rebounded as some levies were suspended, and progress in US trade negotiations, particularly with China, spurred gains in May and June. Geopolitical tensions, including Israel's surprise attack on Iran and subsequent retaliatory strikes, temporarily dampened sentiment, but the market recovered after a ceasefire was agreed upon. Hopes of further US interest rate cuts also supported equities. The fund's outperformance was driven by stock selection in consumer discretionary, information technology, and financials. Overweight allocation to industrials also helped. Key contributors included SK Hynix, which gained from AI market opportunities and its partnership with AWS, and Chroma ATE, boosted by optimism in robotics. Not holding Alibaba also aided returns. Detractors included Midea Group, Raia Drogasil, and Trip.com.
