In January, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index increased by 8.4% in euros, outperforming the 7.4% increase for developed markets. Main reasons for the rally were a more dovish outlook by the Fed and positive headlines on the China-US trade negotiations, which was also supportive for emerging currencies and commodity prices. Brazil was the best performing market as president Jair Bolsonaro took office with an ambitious economic reform agenda that includes the much-awaited pension reform. Turkey, Russia, South Africa and China also performed relatively well. The Chinese market was supported by the improved outlook for the trade negotiations. Only one market registered losses: India, which is related to uncertainties surrounding the general elections next quarter. Taiwan also lagged other emerging markets due to weak technology demand, including a cut in Apple’s revenue guidance.

ESG-based considerations impact the stock valuation analysis. Relevant ESG issues are discussed with company management on a case by case basis. Input from RobecoSAM Sustainability analysts is used to further enhance ESG integration in the investment process.

Two important global factors have turned into a positive direction. Fed chairman Jerome Powell sent a more dovish message on interest rate increases this year, and the headlines on the China-US trade negotiations indicate a potential trade deal is more likely. Both are positive developments for emerging markets. Emerging markets remain attractively valued at around 20% to 25% discount versus developed markets, while average GDP growth will be around 4% versus 2% for developed markets. Earnings expectations, however, are still coming down, although expectations are not particularly high with 7.5% estimated growth. Finally, sentiment has improved with renewed inflows into the asset class.
