3 COMMENTARY BRIC markets generated a negative return over the period under review. The MSCI BRIC Index decreased in value and underperformed the MSCI World Index but outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Brazilian equities declined as domestic political uncertainty, together with the more challenging external environment, increased the cost of financing and triggered a currency sell-off. This was exacerbated by a truck driver strike which paralysed the economy and amplified political uncertainty ahead of October s presidential election. India posted a negative return as domestic bond yields increased on rising external pressures from higher oil prices, as well as concerns over the fiscal deficit. Downward revisions to earnings forecasts, fraud at a state-owned bank and incrementally negative political developments also weighed on sentiment. China recorded a small negative return. First quarter GDP growth remained stable at 6.8% year-on-year. However, an escalation in trade tensions with the US, together with signs of slowing momentum in the domestic economy, contributed to weakness in the Yuan towards the end of the period. No sustainable trade agreement was reached, and the US moved ahead with plans to implement a 25% tariff on $50 billion of Chinese goods, $34 billion of which took effect in July. China responded with tariffs of equal measure. The central bank reduced the reserve requirement ratio for banks by a total of 150 basis points over the period, in an effort to provide support to growth. Russia registered a positive return, led higher by energy sector names as the price of crude oil rallied strongly. However, this masked high volatility which was triggered by the US s announcement of new sanctions on Russia in April. Meanwhile, President Putin was re-elected for another six-year term in March. The Fund recorded a positive return and outperformed the benchmark with stock selection underpinning excess returns. Country allocation had a small positive impact, with the overweight to Russia, underweight to India and, earlier in the period, the overweight to Brazil adding value. At a stock level, selection in China contributed the most to relative returns. This included off-benchmark positions in online entertainment provider iqiyi. The stock, which we purchased through the initial public offering at the end of March, rallied sharply on expectations of rapid subscriber growth. The overweights to oil companies Sinopec and CNOOC also worked well, with the rally in crude oil prices supportive of both stocks. For CNOOC, operating and capital expenditures continued to be controlled, further boosting the outlook for earnings. Sinopec also announced a higher-than-expected dividend. Stock selection in India was also positive. Contributors include the overweight to Infosys, and off-benchmark holdings in HDFC Bank. Infosys stock gained on expected demand improvement, with Rupee weakness aiding competitiveness. Meanwhile, HDFC Bank continued to gain market share, benefitting from public sector banking woes. Its share price was also boosted by a change to foreign investor ownership restrictions. The overweight to Hindustan Unilever also worked well as first quarter earnings results were slightly above expectations, supported by strong volume growth. 2
4 The first half of 2018 has seen the synchronised global growth environment challenged somewhat by creeping stagflationary concerns. Eurozone growth has surprised to the downside, while escalating trade tensions threaten to weigh on global activity. Higher crude oil prices are now stoking inflation and to a certain extent impairing consumer spending. The strong US Dollar has caused a degree of stress in BRIC currencies. The safe-haven characteristics of the US Dollar may see the currency appreciate further, should trade uncertainty persist. However, as we move towards 2019 we believe that US Dollar strength should be contained by policy tightening measures from the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan. Recent Renminbi depreciation has caused some concern. So far, this looks to be a combination of trade tensions, decelerating Chinese growth and monetary policy divergence with the US. Global trade risk has risen, with a recent increase in protectionist rhetoric challenging our base assumptions that an escalation is not expected. Although China is limited in its ability to implement tariffs on US goods, the authorities hold other cards. For instance, US businesses operating in China could be targeted. Meanwhile, additional US tariffs on Chinese imports would add upward pressure to US inflation. It remains likely that these tensions extend beyond the US midterm elections in November but given the vulnerabilities on either side, we continue to expect rationality to prevail. There has been a clear increase in uncertainty for BRIC equities in the past month. Sentiment has weakened, and earnings per share forecasts have fallen slightly on the back of negative trade developments. However, we continue to hold a cautiously positive outlook. BRIC economies are midway through the market cycle, with a number of cases in the relatively early part of the cycle. External balances are also healthier than in previous periods of US Dollar strength. On a relative basis, the MSCI BRIC Index trades on a discount of over 23% to the MSCI World Index. Resolution to trade tensions, confidence that US Dollar strength has peaked or improvements in Eurozone growth could provide some relief to markets. Idiosyncratic events in certain EM countries bear monitoring in the coming months, in particular elections in Brazil. We have moderately adjusted portfolio positioning, scaling back exposure to China and adding to Brazil where recent price action has begun to create opportunities. As a result, we took Brazil from neutral to a modest overweight. This was funded by increasing the magnitude of the underweight to China. We maintain an overall overweight position in Russia. US sanctions have likely lifted the risk premium for the Russian market on a sustained basis, but the gradual economic rebound should remain intact and valuations look cheap. The Fund is overweight in Brazil where valuations are attractive, despite uncertainty ahead of the presidential election. The Fund is underweight China. Valuations are reasonable but growth is decelerating and there is risk stemming from US trade tensions. Stock selection is also complicated further by the number of state-owned enterprises in the market. India is our largest underweight. Although economic growth appears to be improving, valuations remain expensive and strong crude oil prices remain a fiscal headwind. June
