Ashoka Whiteoak Emerging Markets Trust Plc ( (GB:AWEM) ) has issued an announcement.
Ashoka WhiteOak Emerging Markets Trust reported a 1.48% gain for the first quarter of 2026, modestly trailing the MSCI Emerging Markets benchmark, which rose 1.83%. Performance was driven by strong gains in semiconductor and technology names such as Samsung Electronics, TSMC, WinWay Technology and SK hynix, while holdings including Tencent, Alibaba, Naspers and Trip.com weighed on returns.
The trust’s portfolio remains concentrated in leading Asian technology and financial stocks, with its top 10 positions, led by TSMC and Samsung, accounting for 33.4% of net asset value. The update highlights that emerging markets outperformed developed peers like U.S. and global indices over the quarter, reinforcing the manager’s thesis that under-researched EM equities can offer higher alpha potential for shareholders despite short-term relative underperformance.
