Global equities dropped 3.2% in USD, with US equities falling 4.6%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks as the rotation away from mega-cap tech accelerated due to AI fears.

Exposure in North America, Korea, Western Europe, and Latin America regions boosted performance, while Canada and the UK lagged.
