Genesis Emerging Markets Fund - Exciting long-term opportunities

Genesis Emerging Markets Fund (GSS) was launched in 1989 and is one of the first funds listed in the UK focused on this asset class. Its objective is to deliver capital growth over the long term through investing in high-quality companies listed in, or with substantial exposure to, emerging markets. Unconstrained by index considerations, the portfolio reflects the highest-conviction investment ideas from a team of emerging markets specialists. The fund has a solid long-term track record of outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and, over the past 10 years, has delivered an annualised NAV total return of 8%. Investor appetite for the asset class is currently subdued; however, the manager has a long-term investment horizon and is finding exciting opportunities.

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...

Freelancer - AI to drive return to growth

Freelancer’s Q124 results were mixed. Operationally, the company is seeing rising demand for AI specialists as customers seek affordable ways to develop proprietary AI. Notably, in Enterprise, the company delivered a large-scale AI pilot for a tech giant, sourcing 20,000 freelancers in 24 hours across 52 languages. This impressive achievement could lead to a substantial multi-year contract. Major initiatives across Loadshift and Escrow with leading organisations are set to be deployed over the coming months, potentially catalysing performance and diversifying revenue streams.

Renewi - Solid trading and better cash generation

Renewi’s FY24 trading update was in line with management’s expectations and its improved cash generation is reassuring for investors. Attention is now likely to turn the strategic review of the UK Municipals with management stating that they remain on track to update markets by the end of June. This could lead to an exit of key liabilities and leave Renewi as an attractive circular economy investment with strong market positions and organic growth plans, which should assist in generating value, including a potential re-rating of the shares.

Filtronic - Agreement with SpaceX drives upgrades

Filtronic has signed a strategic partnership and commercial agreement with SpaceX which includes a production order worth £15.8m and warrants that could be exercised for up to 10% of existing share capital. Filtronic announced its first orders from SpaceX in January 2023, although the customer was unnamed at that point. Since then, SpaceX has placed orders totalling $43m (including yesterday’s order) for products to support the build out of its Starlink low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. The scale of these orders is such that we upgrade our forecasts, with the larger impact on FY25...
