"Asian frontier markets showed robust resilience and convincing performance in June 2025, driven by a powerful structural 'economic liberation' in Vietnam, cheap valuations in South Asia, and upcoming privatizations in Uzbekistan."
Executive Summary
Asia Frontier Capital's June 2025 update highlights strong resilience and recovery across its main funds despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The AFC Vietnam Fund gained 6.5%, outperforming its benchmark, on the back of rapidly improving macroeconomic indicators (expected 7.6% Q2 GDP growth) and a historic policy pivot (Resolution 68) empowering the private sector. The flagship AFC Asia Frontier Fund gained 1.9%, driven by recoveries in Sri Lanka (where GDP grew 4.8% in Q1), Bangladesh (rebounding from multi-year low valuations), and Uzbekistan. In Uzbekistan, the fund is concentrating on blue-chip equities to leverage upcoming Q4 2025 state-owned enterprise IPOs. In Iraq, the AFC Iraq Fund outperformed its benchmark, showing robust structural transformation in its banking sector and resilient domestic consumption.
