The principal catalyst driving international capital markets through the quarter was the U.S. election end result, with the anticipated monetary influence of Donald Trump’s marketing campaign initiatives rapidly being discounted. Markets anticipate immigration reform, an extension of U.S. tax laws handed in 2017 with even perhaps decrease company tax charges, cuts/efficiencies in home fiscal spending, and tariffs or different protectionist commerce measures that may additionally cut back the U.S. present account deficit. A lot of this coverage combine could be greenback constructive within the quick time period, and the greenback abruptly rallied roughly 6% to a two-year excessive from pre-election into the brand new yr. Not like 2016 when Trump’s victory was surprising, betting websites have been clearly presaging the end result this time round, and in our view, the market was already pricing in an honest probability that Trump’s insurance policies could be enacted. Additional, Trump’s governing fashion and coverage combine have been rather more of a thriller in late 2016, whereas in our view, the higher thriller at present is whether or not Trump’s insurance policies in a second time period will really reside as much as what the market has already discounted. Lastly, relative multiples on U.S. and non-U.S. equities are very completely different at present than when Trump was first elected, a indisputable fact that we consider units up a beautiful contrarian alternative, significantly for longer-term and affected person traders. We consider post-election market momentum could already be overdone, which we element additional within the Outlook part of this letter. We stay optimistic that rising markets (EM) equities presently supply a beautiful long-term entry level, with relative valuations and earnings expectations reaching contemporary multi-decade lows within the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election, amid elevated investor skepticism. Whereas returns on such equities have actually lagged, we see a number of forward-looking catalysts that ought to improve relative earnings development potential, and as at all times, we’re assured that our diversified portfolio of well-positioned and well-managed bottom-up investments can carry out within the years forward.
For the total yr 2024, the Fund modestly outperformed the Benchmark, whereas underperforming our all-cap EM development Proxy Benchmark. From a sector or theme perspective, sturdy inventory choice within the Industrials sector, primarily pushed by numerous investments in our sustainability/ESG (HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd., HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., and Modern Amperex Know-how Co., Restricted) and digitization (Full Truck Alliance Co. Ltd. (YMM) and InPost S.A. (OTCPK:INPOY)(OTCPK:INPOF)) themes, was the biggest contributor to relative efficiency through the yr. As well as, stable inventory choice impact along with our obese positioning within the Communication Providers sector, owing to our India digitization holdings (Bharti Airtel Restricted and Indus Towers Restricted), additionally stood out as a key contributor through the interval. Lastly, favorable allocation impact mixed with good inventory choice within the Supplies and Shopper Discretionary sectors additionally bolstered relative outcomes. Partially offsetting the above was weak inventory choice impact within the Financials sector, significantly in our fintech disruption theme (Pine Labs Pte. Ltd., XP Inc. (XP), and Inter & Co Inc. (INTR)), and extra broadly owing to some different monetary sector holdings in Indonesia (PT Financial institution Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (OTCPK:BKRKY)(OTCPK:BKRKF)), Brazil (Banco BTG Pactual S.A. and B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcao (OTCPK:BOLSY)(OTCPK:BOLSF)), and India (Bajaj Finance Restricted and SBI Life Insurance coverage Firm Restricted). As well as, adversarial inventory choice and our obese positioning within the Shopper Staples sector, largely mirrored in weak point throughout our EM client theme (Budweiser Brewing Firm APAC Restricted (OTCPK:BDWBF)(OTCPK:BDWBY), Wal-Mart de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (OTCQX:WMMVY)(OTCPK:WMMVF), Kweichow Moutai Co., Ltd., and Tata Shopper Merchandise Restricted) additionally weighed on relative efficiency through the yr.
From a rustic perspective, for calendar yr 2024, sturdy inventory choice in Korea was the biggest contributor to relative efficiency. Whereas Korean equities on the whole skilled a significant correction through the yr (Korea down 23.4% within the Benchmark), we’re happy with the constructive absolute returns and powerful relative positive factors that have been generated by our investments within the nation. Specifically, we stay enthusiastic about our Korea shipbuilding associated holdings (HD Korea Shipbuilding and HD Hyundai Heavy) which are getting into a multi-year development cycle with engaging profitability metrics, whereas additionally benefiting from geopolitical tailwinds resulting in elevated collaboration with the U.S. Navy amongst different international protection associated alternatives. As well as, our obese positioning along with stable inventory choice in India additionally stood out as a key contributor to relative efficiency. We stay enthusiastic about our investments in India as productiveness enhancing financial reforms are kickstarting a virtuous funding cycle within the nation and positioning India because the quickest rising giant economic system on the earth this decade. Lastly, constructive inventory choice impact in Taiwan and Poland, and our lack of publicity to Saudi Arabia additionally bolstered relative outcomes for the total yr. Partially offsetting the above was adversarial inventory choice impact in China, which principally occurred previous to a vector change in financial, fiscal, and regulatory assist measures in late September. With China’s categorical intent to additional assist its economic system into 2025, we anticipate an additional broadening of the rally that ought to particularly profit the non-public sector development shares that we sometimes spend money on. Lastly, our obese positioning mixed with adversarial inventory choice in Brazil, largely by way of our fintech disruption theme, was additionally a notable detractor through the yr. For the fourth quarter, the Fund modestly outperformed the Benchmark, whereas barely trailing the Proxy Benchmark. Strong inventory choice impact in Korea and China have been the important thing contributors to relative efficiency through the interval. Whereas China was the biggest detractor for full-year 2024, we’re inspired by our efficiency within the fourth quarter and anticipate an additional broadening of the rally in China (as mentioned above) to learn lots of our holdings going ahead. India, after being our largest contributor to relative efficiency by way of the September quarter, partially retraced prior interval positive factors owing to a near-term slowdown in financial development and associated earnings weak point, making it the biggest offsetting detractor through the fourth quarter. We consider the present financial slowdown is primarily as a consequence of a delay in authorities capex spending exercise, which in flip was principally associated to mid-year elections, and we anticipate a re-acceleration to develop into evident within the coming quarters. Our lack of publicity to Saudi Arabia and underweight positioning within the United Arab Emirates (UAE) additionally weighed on relative outcomes through the quarter. From a sector or theme perspective, stable inventory choice impact in Industrials and Well being Care contributed probably the most to relative outcomes. Our underweight positioning mixed with good inventory choice within the Supplies sector additionally bolstered relative efficiency. Broadly offsetting the above was adversarial inventory choice impact in Financials and Actual Property.

Semiconductor big Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Firm Restricted (TSMC) contributed within the fourth quarter as a consequence of a cyclical restoration in semiconductors and important incremental demand for AI chips. We retain conviction that TSMC’s technological management, pricing energy, and publicity to secular development markets, together with AI/high-performance computing, automotive, 5G, and web of issues, will enable the corporate to maintain sturdy double-digit earnings development over the following a number of years.
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. is the world’s largest shipbuilder primarily based on orderbook dimension and the worldwide chief in high-end vessels together with liquified pure gasoline (LNG)-powered ships. Shares rose on stronger-than- anticipated quarterly outcomes, together with margin development enhanced by greater pricing and decrease uncooked supplies prices and powerful year-to-date newbuild ship order demand and pricing. We stay shareholders. Hyundai Heavy’s vertically built-in enterprise mannequin differentiates it from friends, and it must be the main beneficiary of decarbonization of transport. The corporate has technological management and a dominant market place in eco-friendly LNG dual-fueled ships in addition to first mover benefit in next-generation ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen shipbuilding. We anticipate tightening worldwide maritime carbon emission laws to drive a lot greater demand for LNG fuel-propelled ships and carbon-free ammonia-fueled ships.
Kaynes Know-how India Restricted is a number one electronics manufacturing service participant in India serving the automotive, industrial, railway, medical, and aerospace and protection industries. Shares have been up within the quarter, pushed by strong gross sales and profitability development. We consider Kaynes is effectively positioned to learn from the federal government’s Make in India initiative, which inspires home manufacturing of digital parts by offering engaging tax subsidies and manufacturing infrastructure. We’re enthusiastic about Kaynes’ latest improvement of its outsourced semiconductor meeting and take a look at facility, which we consider represents important incremental development alternative within the medium time period. We anticipate the corporate to ship 40% to 45% compounded EBITDA development over the following three to 5 years.

Swiggy Restricted is India’s main meals supply platform with a roughly 45% market share. Shares detracted through the quarter. Though the inventory elevated on strong gross sales development and enhancing profitability after Swiggy’s IPO in November, the corporate went public at a value decrease than our non-public funding. We retain conviction in Swiggy, as we consider India’s meals supply trade continues to be in its infancy and can proceed to scale over the following a number of years, pushed by a rising center class, rising disposable revenue, greater smartphone penetration, and a structural shift in client choice to a technology-savvy youthful inhabitants.
Alibaba Group Holding Restricted is the biggest retailer and e-commerce firm in China.

Shares fell on continued weak point in core home commerce development. Quarterly outcomes have been roughly according to expectations, with relative power in profitability, however the timing for acceleration in core gross merchandise worth continues to be unclear. We retain conviction that Alibaba is effectively positioned to learn from China’s ongoing development in on-line commerce and cloud in China, although aggressive market issues stay.
Shares of South Korean conglomerate Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. decreased through the quarter as a consequence of combined execution in its DRAM and NAND expertise improvement and investor issues a couple of potential cyclical peak in reminiscence costs.

Publicity by Market Cap: The Fund could spend money on corporations of any market capitalization, and we now have typically been broadly diversified throughout large-, mid-, and small-cap corporations, as we consider creating world corporations of all sizes can exhibit engaging development potential. On the finish of the fourth quarter of 2024, the Fund’s median market cap was $12.8 billion, and we have been invested 49.5% in giant-cap corporations, 35.4% in large-cap corporations, 14.1% in mid-cap corporations, and 0.9% in small- and micro-cap corporations, as outlined by Morningstar, with the rest in money.
Latest Exercise
Through the fourth quarter, we added a number of new investments to current themes whereas additionally rising publicity to a number of positions that we established in earlier intervals. We proceed our endeavor so as to add to our highest conviction concepts.
We have been busy including to our digitization theme by initiating positions in S.F. Holding Co., Ltd. (SF), MercadoLibre, Inc. (MELI), and Talabat Holding plc. SF is Asia’s largest logistics supplier and a dominant chief in China, significantly in premium categorical supply. Asia is the biggest, quickest rising, and one of the crucial fragmented logistics markets globally. With its direct operations mannequin, complete logistics choices, and the biggest air cargo fleet in Asia, the corporate is effectively positioned to learn from the secular development of Chinese language enterprises increasing abroad, significantly inside Asia. The total opening of its Ezhou Airport in China, Asia’s solely devoted cargo hub, has additional strengthened SF’s moat in each home and worldwide markets. We additionally see a multi-year margin enlargement runway, with annual enhancements of 20 to 30bps within the subsequent three years, pushed by improved asset utilization from its multi-network integration initiatives, economies of scale, operational optimization, and diminished capital depth. We anticipate SF to attain 20% compound earnings development over the following three years, with upside potential complemented by its constant shareholder returns coverage.
MercadoLibre operates the biggest digital commerce ecosystem in Latin America, with a presence in 18 international locations throughout the area. The corporate gives a complete suite of e-commerce and digital monetary providers to customers and retailers. Since its launch in 1999, MercadoLibre has grown to develop into the biggest e-commerce participant within the area, leveraging its first mover benefit and early investments in logistics to offer a superior buying expertise to prospects. Utilizing the first-party information generated by way of its platform, it has constructed a profitable fintech providing centered round funds, credit score, and different monetary merchandise serving almost 60 million energetic month-to-month customers. The corporate’s development prospects are tied to the secular developments of accelerating e-commerce and banking penetration in Latin America, which stay low in comparison with different developed and rising markets. Regardless of its success so far, we see ample alternatives for MercadoLibre to scale in areas akin to promoting, monetary providers, and logistics success. We consider MercadoLibre’s aggressive moat is safe in these rising industries given its scale, native data, information insights, and the synergistic relationship of its ecosystem.
Through the quarter, the Fund participated within the IPO of Talabat. The corporate is the main meals, grocery, and retail supply platform within the MENA area, with operations within the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq. As of September 2024, Talabat had greater than six million energetic prospects, over 65,000 energetic companions, and in extra of 119,000 energetic riders, making it the biggest platform within the area, with the very best variety of orders and largest section share. The corporate operates in engaging markets the place excessive discretionary revenue and comparatively low value of labor drive a large hole between common order values and supply prices. This results in margins which are a number of turns greater relative to international friends. The meals and grocery supply industries are largely underpenetrated within the area, suggesting there’s a lengthy runway for development and room for a number of gamers to function. As the biggest participant, Talabat can leverage its breadth and scale to drive extra engaging unit economics and develop its market share. As well as, the corporate has the potential to scale promoting income from a low base, which might improve or assist defend margins over time. In abstract, we’re optimistic relating to Talabat’s development and profitability outlook.
Including to our international safety/provide chain diversification theme, we initiated a place in Hanwha Methods Co., Ltd., a number one South Korean protection enterprise that develops high-tech techniques together with tactical communication, radar, naval fight, and house options techniques. We anticipate the corporate to learn from a rise in worldwide protection budgets following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and different geopolitical conflicts. As well as, we additionally anticipate a rise in demand for plane and naval fight techniques as international locations enhance their budgets to modernize their fleets. The Korea protection trade is especially effectively positioned, in our view, to realize market share in export markets, given cost-effective provide chains and quick supply occasions.
Lastly, we added to a number of of our current positions through the quarter, most notably Modern Amperex Know-how Co., Restricted, Bajaj Finance Restricted, JD.com, Inc. (JD)(OTCPK:JDCMF), HDFC Financial institution Restricted (HDB), Tencent Holdings Restricted, Kingdee Worldwide Software program Group Firm Restricted (OTCPK:KGDEF)(OTCPK:KGDEY), and Cummins India Restricted. Through the quarter, we additionally exited positions in PDD Holdings Inc. (PDD) and Hyundai Rotem Firm as a consequence of uncertainties over company governance, sturdiness of earnings development, and/or aggressive positioning going ahead.
Outlook
In our third quarter letter, we posited that the mixture of a Fed easing cycle, Japanese rate of interest normalization, and enhanced stimulus, liquidity, and property/monetary sector assist in China had doubtless triggered a backside in EM and worldwide fairness relative efficiency. Whereas we famous that the upcoming U.S. election offered dangers to non-U.S. equities, we cautioned that almost all of those dangers have been fairly effectively understood and discounted after a multi-year, relative bear market. Not surprising, and just like 2016, the instant response to Trump’s victory was a robust U.S. greenback rally, whereas related investor enthusiasm in the direction of U.S. equities greater than reversed prior quarter underperformance and powered U.S. fairness relative multiples to multi-decade highs. Not like 2016, when non-U.S. equities have been priced on the long-term median relative earnings a number of previous to Trump’s surprising win, this time EM and worldwide equities have been already buying and selling at a 20-year low, with post-election momentum driving such equities particularly to a file low cost however the truth that Trump was favored to win by the real-money oddsmakers. As we enter 2025, U.S. equities commerce at roughly 1.8 occasions the a number of of EM equities, or roughly 21 occasions ahead earnings versus 12 occasions for EM, suggesting to us that the horse of U.S. exceptionalism has already left the barn, and we preserve that there’s doubtless extra upside than draw back in non-U.S. relative efficiency trying ahead from right here.
Taking the 2016 case examine a bit additional, we observe that the U.S. greenback index (DXY) rallied roughly 5% within the instant aftermath of that election (in an almost similar sample to the 6% rally from Nov. 5, 2024 to Jan. 2, 2025), topping in early January and abruptly reversing your entire achieve on the way in which to a 14% decline from the post-election peak by early 2018. In 2017, EM equities rallied 37.3%, whereas worldwide equities appreciated 27.2%, each far exceeding the 21.8% return of U.S. equities. Given the bigger preliminary low cost now, and catalysts famous above, we’d not be stunned to see an analogous relative situation unfold within the coming quarters, significantly if the Trump administration prioritizes home immigration and taxes over protectionist commerce coverage and tariffs within the preliminary months, maybe over issues of stoking politically delicate inflation. Additional, potential army/ geopolitical de-escalation or proof that threats of tariffs could be used as negotiating leverage may set off a dramatic discount in danger premium, significantly benefitting non-U.S. belongings and currencies, whereas any affirmation of latest press hypothesis that Trump could mood marketing campaign rhetoric when transitioning to precise governing would additionally doubtless spark some imply reversion in relative efficiency and slender the present historic premium attributed to U.S. equities.
Transferring to fundamentals and earnings outlook, we stay constructive relating to the outlook for enhancing relative earnings development in EM jurisdictions over the intermediate time period. India continues to trip a wave of productiveness and secular development, and we proceed to anticipate sustainable double-digit earnings positive factors throughout the economic system, with after all significantly higher potential for the standard leaders and innovators that we personal. India’s quickly rising weight inside the Benchmark is enhancing the expansion potential of the EM asset class by itself. As we now have mentioned in latest letters, Taiwan (and Korea, to a lesser extent) has many strategically necessary constituents benefitting from the accelerating development of AI, superior computing, forefront semiconductor design/manufacturing and information middle deployment, and we now have targeted our assets and added publicity right here over the previous yr. China, whereas nonetheless challenged by the property sector slowdown and geopolitical shifts, has not too long ago elevated stimulus and assist efforts, demonstrating a will and dedication to assist financial development, consumption, and monetary stability, which we consider is prone to end in improved investor notion and declining danger premium. Along with the in depth assist measures outlined in our earlier letter, through the fourth quarter a number of contemporary initiatives have been introduced, together with an RMB 10 trillion native authorities debt swap program, the next fiscal deficit goal for 2025, a doubling of funds for the patron items trade-in program, and a civil servant wage hike, alongside fairly dovish language suggesting a extra accommodative regulatory atmosphere and posture in the direction of the non-public sector. We preserve our view that the coverage pivot final September marks a key inflection level, and whereas some observers are in search of higher transparency and particulars, we consider management is holding again firepower and the makings of an “all-in” sign ought to the Trump administration launch aggressive commerce measures early within the new time period. In our view, markedly improved dividend and share repurchase applications are rewarding endurance, and we at the moment are seeing some inexperienced shoots relating to property transactions, consumption, and forward- trying earnings enchancment. We stay barely underweight this jurisdiction and are cautiously optimistic relating to the potential for a change in market sentiment. Korea was the biggest supply of outperformance for our methods in 2024 – solely pushed by bottom-up inventory choice and particularly by our shipbuilding/protection/international safety focus. We stay fairly enthusiastic relating to our investments right here, and however the latest political turmoil, we see this jurisdiction as maybe the most definitely self-help story within the asset class with appreciable upside on any enchancment in sentiment. Korea is penalized dearly for a poor company governance file, portion of which has developed from misguided coverage; a world-leading inheritance tax incents the Chaebol-class to control the worth of or restructure their publicly traded holdings, typically to the detriment of minority shareholders. Satirically, we see the latest political occasions, impeachment, and sure change in management get together as a possible constructive catalyst, because the liberal-leaning get together may very well take the tougher line towards Chaebol resistance to governance reform. Lastly, Brazil’s foreign money and fairness markets suffered a marked decline within the latest quarter in response to President Lula’s softening on fiscal self-discipline and fears that his populist tendencies will stay unrestrained within the yr forward that precedes the following presidential election. Whereas we’re dissatisfied within the “miss versus fiscal expectation,” we additionally acknowledge it as a transfer of desperation as Lula’s approval score has fallen to a file low for this time period, and a longer-term view would recommend rising odds of a regime change in 2026, which might doubtless set off a significant discount in danger premium and substantial upside for Brazil’s foreign money and equities. We stay roughly market weight and see very engaging danger/reward for our holdings on this market.
We look ahead to what we anticipate will doubtless be an thrilling and risky yr forward, one which we suspect will supply many intriguing funding alternatives for long-term traders.
Thanks for investing within the Baron Rising Markets Fund.
Sincerely,
Michael Kass, Portfolio Supervisor
