Commenting on the markets, Sam Vecht and Christopher Colunga, representing the Investment Manager noted;
Market Commentary
The MSCI Emerging Europe 10/40 Index returned -0.4% in June in US dollar (USD) terms. The Company underperformed the index and fell by 1.1% in USD terms.
Greece (+5.6%) was the best performing market in the region following the completion of the country’s second bailout review. This resulted in Euro-zone creditors agreeing to release €8.5bn in new loans and Moody’s upgrading Greece’s credit rating to Caa2 with a positive outlook. Greece’s next focus will be on agreeing a debt sustainability program with its creditors and attempting to issue debt in the international markets for the first time since 2014.
Turkey (+4.1%) rose over the month as first quarter 2017 gross domestic product growth surprised to the upside and beat consensus expectations. In Central Europe, Hungary (+3.4%) and Poland (+1.9%) outperformed the region while Czech Republic (-0.8%) lagged. The region benefitted from a stronger Euro vs. USD (+1.6%). CE3 currencies (Czech Koruna, Polish Zloty and Hungarian Forint) performance was mixed against the Euro: the Koruna (+0.9%) strengthened while the Zloty (-1.2%) and the Forint (-0.2%) weakened, but all rose against the US dollar.
Russia (-3.6%) declined over the month with the rouble weakening as the oil price continued to drop. Brent crude lost 3.7% and fell to US$48.23 per barrel at month-end, after trading as low as US$44 per barrel during the month, the lowest since just before the November 2016 OPEC (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) cut. The Central Bank of Russia continued its easing policy and cut the key policy rate by 25 basis points to 9.0% in line with consensus expectations. The Russian economy continued to recover with both consumer and investment-related industries doing well. Retail sales beat consensus expectations and real wages accelerated in both the private and public sectors.
Focus on: Turkish Airlines (Türk Hava Yollar?)
Turkish Airlines is the national carrier of Turkey with its headquarters in Istanbul. Leveraging its geographic location as a transit hub between Europe, Asia and Africa, Turkish Air has managed to grow its fleet of aircraft to over 300 and is one of the largest airlines in the world as measured by destinations served - reaching over 100 countries globally.
2016 was a difficult year for the airline which saw it witness a decline in its profits and a loss of passengers due to concerns about terrorist attacks in the country followed by the failed coup in July 2016. This, coupled with a diplomatic spat with Russia, meant that Turkey saw its lowest number of tourists in years. By the end of 2016 year the stock was looking very downtrodden.
We initiated our position in Turkish Airlines at the beginning of 2017 on the view that traffic would improve, driving margins higher. Russia and Turkey had recently normalised relations, ensuring Russian tourists should start to return. The security situation within Turkey began to cool back down, and normalisation in the oil market helped airline ticket pricing to stabilise. The investment thesis began to play out relatively quickly. The company posted strong results on the back of improving air traffic data and operational improvements which resulted in subsequent earnings per share revisions. The stock has had a strong performance and is up by 70% year to date (in USD terms) in 2017.
