Outlook• Modest growth re-appearing in Europe helped by weaker euro & commodities

• Positive structural change in Japan

• Geo-political risks remain: Russia, Middle East, Greece, etc.

• DM multiples may be vulnerable to earnings disappointment or external events

• EM valuations are attractive but ROE’s are declining

• Wide global valuation gap between high ROE and low ROE creates challenges and opportunities

• Central banks outside the U.S. remain accommodative

• Corporate balance sheets are in great shape (cash redeployment)

The securities mentioned may not represent the entire portfolio.

What Helped

Shares of Mobile TeleSystems and Sberbank, a Russian telecom services company and a Russian bank, rebounded from prior weakness as oil prices bounced from their recent lows and as the market was hopeful that the signing of Minsk II ceasefire agreement would ease tensions in Ukraine.

OTP Bank, a Hungarian bank, benefited from improving returns in Hungary and Bulgaria as well as a reduction of in the special banking tax in 2016.

Shares of China Mobile, a Chinese telecom services company, gained on strong 4G net adds and expectations for falling marketing costs and capital expenditure.

Samsung Electronics, a South Korean manufacturer and distributor of electronic products, rose on the back of rising expectations for the new Galaxy S6 smartphone and a turnaround in the System LSI division.

What Hurt

Shares of Pacific Rubiales Energy, a Canadian energy company with assets primarily based in Colombia and Latin America, declined sharply on concerns that debt covenants could be eventually breached unless oil prices rebounded from the recent lows.

Punjab National Bank, an Indian bank, declined on the back of continued pressure on asset quality and lower levels of growth.

Shares of Banco do Brasil, a Brazilian bank, declined on concerns that macroeconomic weakness would lead to asset quality pressures as the economy slows down.

Shares of Turkiye Is Bankasi, a Turkish bank, declined due to macroeconomic concerns after the Turkish president publicly admonished the central bank and questioned its need to be independent.

BB Seguridade, a Brazilian insurance company, experienced profit taking on the back of a slightly lower growth outlook.

A higher-than-index exposure to Brazil detracted from returns.

Stock selection in the information technology, financials, energy, and consumer discretionary sectors and in China and India hurt performance.

What Helped

Stocks prices in Axis Bank and Punjab National Bank, both Indian banks, increased on the back of strong returns and expectations that post the Modi election victory in India, the economy will rebound and improve returns.

The share price of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, a Taiwanese semiconductor company, increased as the company announced impressive sales results.

Bank Mandiri, an Indonesian bank, reported good quarterly results.

Shares of Telekommunikasi Indonesia, an Indonesian telecom company, performed well on the back of good execution and expectations for an increase in average revenues per unit and data penetration growth.

A higher-than-index exposure to Indonesia added value.

Stocks selection in the information technology and materials sectors and in India and Brazil helped performance.

What Hurt

Sberbank, a Russian bank, performed poorly as plummeting oil prices and severe weakness in the ruble resulted in significant macroeconomic concerns.

Mobile Telesystems, a Russian telecommunication services company, was negatively affected by the collapsing ruble and from investor concerns regarding the parent company Sistema’s legal battle with the government in relation to dividends earned from its subsidiary Bashneft.

Shares of Pacific Rubiales Energy, a Canadian energy company with assets primarily in Colombia and Latin America, declined given the company’s sensitivity to the recent collapse on oil prices.

Gazprom, a Russian gas company, was negatively affected by the recent decrease in oil prices and the ruble and from negative Russian sentiment following increased sanctions from the West.

Shares of MegaFon, a Russian telecommunication services company, were also negatively affected by the collapsing ruble.

A higher-than-index exposure to Russia significantly detracted from returns.

Stock selection in Russia hurt performance.

We believe fundamentals and valuations remain attractive in emerging markets.

Very strong global growth would not, in our opinion, be optimal for Emerging Markets.

We remain bullish on the outlook for emerging-market equities over the short, medium, and long term. We believe that valuations are not excessive in all scenarios other than for a global recession.

Important Information

Equity securities will fluctuate in price; the value of your investment will thus fluctuate, and this may result in a loss. Securities in certain non-domestic countries may be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision than in one’s home market. The values of these securities may be affected by changes in currency rates, application of a country’s specific tax laws, changes in government administration, and economic and monetary policy. Emerging market securities carry special risks, such as less developed or less efficient trading markets, a lack of company information, and differing auditing and legal standards. The securities markets of emerging market countries can be extremely volatile; performance can also be influenced by political, social, and economic factors affecting companies in emerging market countries.
