Fund Manager´s Comments
Global equity markets registered mostly positive returns during July 2025. The MSCI World Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index increased by 1.2% and 1.7%, respectively, during the month. On global monetary policy, the Federal Reserve maintained its overnight interest rate unchanged at a range between 4.25% and 4.50%, and the European Central Bank left its main refinancing rate at 2.15%. The DJIA and the S&P 500 increased 0.1% and 2.2%, respectively, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury note increased 15 basis points to 4.37% and the U.S. dollar appreciated 3.2% (measured by the DXY Index^5^) during July 2025. In Mexico, the MSCI Mexico Index decreased 1.1% and the Mexican peso depreciated 0.7% during the month, to Ps. $18.88, whereas the Fund’s NAV decreased 1.5%, underperforming its benchmark.
In local news, Mexico´s preliminary GDP^6^ for the second quarter of 2025 reported an annual increase of 1.2%. Mexican-listed companies reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2025, with sales and Ebitda increasing 8.2% and 7.9%, respectively, much higher than the Mexican GDP growth rate. Companies benefitted from the Mexican peso depreciation, given its effect on income from exports and sales abroad when translated to local currency.
