Extreme volatility has persisted, driven by a variety of factors including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Chinese tech market regulation and US Federal Reserve actions. However, despite a further dip at the beginning of March, we saw a recovery in the portfolio during the second half of the month. Headlines about a peaceful resolution generated erratic price movements during March. As the world continues to digest the conflict, its effects are beginning to be felt economically across emerging markets. In Egypt for example, the price of wheat has soared given that imports from Ukraine stopped, causing inflation to spike rapidly. This has the potential to negatively impact consumer spending and has negatively impacted the local market. On the other hand, high commodity prices caused by the conflict have positively benefited several markets in our focus, including Brazil. Headlines coming out of China also caused severe volatility during March. News regarding enhanced technology sector regulation and potential de-listing of US-listed Chinese ADRs has undoubtedly pushed more investors to sell and wait until the regulatory environment in China becomes clearer.

With geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine ongoing, we expect continued volatility for our portfolio in the short term. Positive signs from our Brazilian holdings keep us cautiously optimistic. Given that fundamentals remain strong for our holdings, proven by the latest set of company results, we continue to focus on our longer-term thesis, while positioning our strategy towards markets with lower geopolitical risks. From a fundamental perspective, we remain diligent on the long-term nature of our holdings and the massive shift in internet adoption continuing to unfold across emerging markets.
