Quick Take

"Aikya's emerging markets fund underperformed in October due to minimal semiconductor exposure amid AI-driven rally."

Executive Summary

Aikya's Global Emerging Markets Fund posted positive returns in October 2025 but underperformed the benchmark due to minimal exposure to AI-driven semiconductor stocks. The fund's investment approach relies on two key pillars: Quality and Valuation, investing exclusively in high-quality companies at sensible valuations. While the market's AI excitement drove Taiwanese and Korean semiconductor stocks to record highs, Aikya maintained valuation discipline despite missing this momentum. The strategy benefited from Bank Central Asia in Indonesia as sentiment toward the government improved. Chinese holdings like Netease and Shenzhen Inovance faced headwinds from market correction, though defensive positioning helped outperform broader China markets with Centre Testing posting gains. Latin American names showed mixed results, with Raia Drogasil and Banco de Chile advancing while Natura and FEMSA declined due to consumer slowdown in Brazil and Mexico. The fund emphasizes long-term absolute returns with strong downside protection, viewing monthly performance as too short-term for meaningful conclusions.
