BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust PLC released its portfolio update as of December 31, 2025, highlighting strong performance across various metrics. The trust’s Net Asset Value (NAV) returned **+4.3%** in December 2025, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI Frontier + Emerging ex Selected Countries Index, which returned **+3.2%**. The trust’s share price and NAV showed robust growth over one month, three months, one year, and longer periods, significantly outpacing benchmarks in both Sterling and US Dollar terms.
**Key Performance Highlights**
**Sterling Performance (Since Launch)** Share price +218.2%, NAV +228.4%.
**US Dollar Performance (Since Launch)** Share price +176.0%, NAV +184.3%.
**Benchmark Comparison** Outperformed both the MSCI Frontiers Index and MSCI Emerging Markets Index over multiple periods.
**Portfolio Composition**
**Sector Allocation** Financials (52.4%), Consumer Discretionary (10.4%), and Communication Services (9.9%) were the top sectors.
**Country Exposure** Saudi Arabia (12.1%), UAE (11.6%), and Poland (9.4%) were the largest country allocations.
**Top Holdings** Bank Mandiri (Indonesia, 4.9%), Bank Pekao (Poland, 4.0%), and LPP (Poland, 3.6%).
**Market Commentary**
**Top Performers** Poland led gains with LPP (+23.9%) and PKO Bank (+7.8%). UAE holdings Air Arabia (+8.4%) and Emaar Properties (+5.7%) also performed well. Halyk Bank (Kazakhstan, +18.6%) and Eldorado Gold (Turkey, +14.4%) saw significant rallies.
