"The fund outperformed in Q2 2026 as Hungary and Mexico rate positioning drove gains while Turkey, Brazil, and India detracted. Emerging markets navigated a complex quarter marked by the Iran conflict and less accommodative Fed policy, with central banks delivering increasingly divergent responses."
The Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q2 2026, with interest rate positioning and foreign currency exposure driving relative returns. Top contributors included positioning in the Hungarian forint (83 bps) and interest rate positioning in Hungary (35 bps) and Mexico (29 bps), while detractors included the Turkish lira (-13 bps) and rate positioning in Brazil and India (-14 bps each). The quarter was marked by the ongoing Iran conflict affecting energy prices and currencies, and a less accommodative Federal Reserve tone that rattled markets. Emerging market central banks delivered increasingly divergent monetary policy responses, moving away from synchronized easing toward country-specific policies shaped by currency pressures, energy shocks, and inflation credibility. The managers believe emerging markets are better equipped than ever to manage external shocks, with stronger monetary policy frameworks and more individualized fundamentals. They maintain a favorable outlook supported by narrowing growth differentials, a stable-to-weak dollar, and attractive valuations, while acknowledging the landscape has shifted toward greater dispersion and idiosyncratic return drivers requiring active country selection.
