Q2 2026 Fund Commentary
Commentary and opinions are provided by Mackenzie Investments.
Market commentary
Emerging markets had a strong second quarter. The retreat in crude oil prices late in the quarter eased pressure on oil-importing economies in Asia, including China, India, Japan and South Korea, after higher energy costs had weighed on trade balances earlier in the year. The easing of tensions in the Middle East and the resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz supported sentiment.
Regional performance varied. Demand tied to artificial intelligence and semiconductors drove extraordinary gains in South Korea and Taiwan. Commodity-exporting markets benefited from firm commodity prices early in the quarter. Chinese and Indian equities lagged, while Latin American markets were supported by resilient domestic demand.
Emerging market equities rose close to 23% for the quarter, outperforming developed markets. Technology-oriented markets led, and energy-related companies performed well in markets with significant oil and gas exposure. Consumer-oriented sectors were mixed amid uneven domestic demand signals.
Performance
Selection in Taiwan, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia contributed to performance. Exposure to information technology, energy, communication services and health care contributed to performance. Exposure to growth and informed investor factors contributed to performance, as did exposure to market sensitivity and profitability.
Relative overweight exposure to SK Hynix Inc., Global Unichip Corp. and Winbond Electronics Corp. contributed to the Fund’s performance. SK Hynix benefited from demand for high-bandwidth memory and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. Global Unichip was supported by demand for custom AI and high-performance computing chips. Winbond benefited from tight memory supply and improved pricing.
Exposure to India, China and South Korea detracted. Security selection in India and South Korea detracted from performance. Security selection in industrials, financials, consumer staples and consumer discretionary and real estate detracted from performance. Value and quality factors detracted from performance, as did the Fund’s smaller size bias.
Lack of exposure to SK Square Co. Ltd. and underweight exposure to MediaTek Inc. detracted from performance. Both stocks rose because of semiconductor and AI-related enthusiasm. Relative overweight exposure to Raia Drogasil SA also detracted from performance.
Portfolio activity
Activity in the Fund is driven by stock selection, optimization and the sub-advisor’s vetting process, which is run daily.
