Risk Discipline in Emerging Markets – What the Asian AI Correction Tells Us

The sharp correction in Asian AI-related Technology stocks over recent weeks only reinforces our conviction that strong risk discipline is essential when investing in Emerging Markets equities.

The Emerging Markets universe offers plenty of compelling growth opportunities at attractive valuations, but generating high returns over the long run has always required diversified risk exposures and a high-quality selection.

Our strategies find a number of Asian AI-related companies attractive, but they also invest across many other themes, such as Thai Consumer and Financial companies, Greek Energy companies with very large cash-flow generation, Health Care companies in China and India, and Consumer Staples leaders from Turkey to South Africa.

Taiwanese and Korean Technology stocks now make up more than a third of the MSCI Emerging Markets index, the RAM (Lux) Systematic Funds – Emerging Markets Equities Fund's benchmark. The fund holds less than half that weight, which limited the impact of the recent sell-off on the portfolio.

At the end of October, the fund’s selection offered a free-cash-flow yield of 7.9% excluding financials, close to double the index’s 4.1%. It traded at nearly 12 times earnings against 13.1 for the index, with a dividend yield of 3.6% against 2.2%, which makes it better suited to a tougher financing environment.

Emerging Markets equities still trade at a discount to their developed-market peers, despite stronger growth and quality metrics that are now better by many measures.

The strategy seeks to capture these opportunities within a portfolio built on disciplined risk management.
