Genesis Emerging Markets Fund - ESG uncovered

Genesis Emerging Markets Fund (GSS) continues to benefit from diversification across a range of sectors and countries. It has performed competitively in the ongoing recovery and is well positioned to take advantage of a further broad-based recovery in emerging markets (EMs). Genesis has a real impact on investee companies, by actively engaging with them. At Genesis, the asset management group, portfolio managers (PMs) engage with companies directly, thus allowing constructive dialogue with them. The company considers this to be one of the key differentiators for the fund. As an active investor, Genesis regards proxy voting as one of the key stewardship tools to support, influence and challenge portfolio companies’ decisions. ESG considerations directly affect portfolio outcomes as they are a key determinant of the sizing of individual investments in the portfolio.

Fidelity Emerging Markets - A year of two parts

Fidelity Emerging Markets (FEML) has been managed by portfolio managers Nick Price and Chris Tennant since October 2021. The portfolio faced a challenging 2022 as emerging markets declined sharply in what was the worst year for the asset class since the global financial crisis. According to Fidelity, valuations now appear attractive, with the MSCI Emerging Market Index trading on a multiple of c 12x P/E at the end of 2022, relative to the MSCI World Index (23 developed markets), which traded on c 17x. The portfolio’s underperformance over the year was driven by its overweight exposure to Russi...

Fidelity Emerging Markets - Repositioned for emerging opportunities

Fidelity Emerging Markets (FEML) was transferred to Fidelity in October 2021. FEML mirrors the FAST EM Fund (FAST, £178m AUM at 30 June 2022), which has achieved a strong track record over the past 10 years, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (MSCI EM Index) under lead fund manager, Nick Price. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, concerns about inflation and the outlook for global growth have shaken riskier assets and the MSCI EM Index is down 8.1% year to date (in GBP to end July). While FEML was not immune to the setback, Fidelity’s comprehensive team of 45 analysts, to...

Tortilla Mexican Grill - Cracking on

Notwithstanding its sector ‘sweet spot’ (a healthy, customisable product at a competitive price), Tortilla Mexican Grill (Tortilla) has taken the opportunity of a change in management to refine its strategy to address challenges since its successful IPO in 2021 as well as expedite growth. Significant benefit is expected from a new delivery structure to mitigate commission charges in an important part of the business (c 30% of sales), from enhanced marketing to tackle surprisingly low brand awareness and from an initial director of food to bolster menu development. With a new FY24 target of sel...
