Investment Objective and Overview

The Company's objective is to achieve long-term capital growth principally from the stockmarkets of the Asian Region excluding Japan.

The Portfolio Manager, Nitin Bajaj, assisted by the Co-Portfolio Manager, Ajinkya Dhavale, aims to generate outperformance mainly through fundamentals driven bottom-up security selection approach within the Asia Pacific ex Japan smaller companies' universe. The focus is on investing in smaller companies because they tend to be less well researched, which leads to greater valuation anomalies. The Portfolio Managers fundamental analysis involves the evaluation of various factors including, but not limited to, stock valuation, financial strength, cash flows, company's competitive advantages, business prospects and earnings potential. Their style is tilted towards value and a two to three year investment horizon.

Portfolio Managers' Half-Yearly Review

Performance Review

Over the six-month period ended 31 January 2025, the net asset value ("NAV") total return of the Company was +3.2%, outperforming the Comparative Index, the MSCI All Countries Asia ex Japan Small Cap Index (net) total return (in sterling terms), which fell by -2.1%. Over the

same period, the Company's share price total return was +4.1%. The Company's discount to its NAV was 9.5% as at 31 January 2025, having ranged between 8.2% and 14.5% in the reporting period. However, it was trading in a narrower range than its peer group.

Source: Fidelity International, 31 January 2025.

The Company has outperformed its Comparative Index in the six-month period under review. This was achieved through the consistent application of our investment process, despite the challenging context of the past eighteen months. We have retained our contrarian positions in undervalued Chinese businesses and stayed away from expensive Indian small-caps. Our consistency has driven the recovery in the Company's relative performance compared to the Comparative Index in the six-month period under review. Our overweight position in China and underweight position in India contributed positively to the Company's relative performance against the Comparative Index. Small caps in China and Hong Kong rose by 15.1%, while small caps in India fell by 10.4%. The success of DeepSeek's low-cost but top-end AI model drove a sharp rally in shares of Chinese small cap technology companies perceived as potential

beneficiaries. We had minimal exposure to such companies as our investment process filters them out due to their unpredictable long-term earnings trajectory and expensive valuations. As a result, stock selection in China detracted from performance. Outside of our benchmark countries, stock selection in the US and Australia (reported under "Others" in Table 2) also added value during the review period. While Genpact, which is a US-listed business process outsourcing company with the majority of its operations in India, drove returns from the US, gains in gold miners (De Gray Mining and Gold Road Resources), which tracked gold prices, enhanced returns from Australia.

Top 5 Key Detractors over six months (as at 31 January 2025)

Source: Fidelity International, 31 January 2025.

Genpact was the largest contributor to relative performance. Its high-quality management team is driving it to grow at a faster rate than the industry. The company's investments in AI solutions are also attracting clients. We trimmed our exposure when the stock price rose but continue to retain a position as the company has high-teens return on invested capital (which measures how well a company generates profits from its investment) and is attractively valued at 13 times its 12-month forward earnings. Forward earnings are a measure of the price of the shares against the likely future profits. Full Truck Alliance which is China's dominant freight transport platform that matches trucker and shippers for commissions was another contributor. Its highly cash generative, low capex business model adds value to its clients by reducing logistics costs and enhancing efficiencies and the stock trades at 15 times 12-month forward earnings. Indonesia's second largest poultry feed and farming company Japfa Comfeed Indonesia also added value and again we have taken some profits but continue to retain a position in the company given its operating margins and

valuations are at historical low levels at 6 times 12-month forward earnings.

Our holdings in Axis Bank and IndusInd Bank, which are India's third and fifth largest private sector lenders, detracted in line with the correction in Indian equities. There were some concerns around asset quality for Axis Bank while IndusInd Bank experienced near term weakness in growth in its micro finance segment. Elsewhere, the share price in US listed oil services company Valaris was subdued in an environment of oil price weakness despite continued geopolitical issues and tensions in the Middle East. The company has operations globally including in the Asia Pacific Rim. We maintain our conviction in all of these names from a medium to long-term perspective.

Investment strategy

Our investment strategy continues to focus on investing in good businesses, run by good management teams that are available at a suitable margin of safety which means that we are not overpaying for the investment.

Our bottom-up approach to investing is completely benchmark agnostic which has succeeded in generating sustainable performance for the Company in the long run, despite style headwinds. We believe these

headwinds should become tailwinds. In our opinion, value stocks should generate superior earnings growth over time compared to growth stocks and provide better cash returns, in terms of dividends.

We know that equities can move sharply, driven by sentiment. We witnessed this in China in September 2024 when investors reacted strongly to Chinese policy announcements driving a steep rally, which then fizzled out in the following few months as a result of policy disappointments. This rally could repeat itself as there is a huge amount of money sitting on the sidelines in China. The sentiment could turn very quickly if there are signs of a shift in earnings momentum which could lead to stock market strength in China.

1 Fidelity International Internal Information Our focus remains on owning businesses which are better quality than the market at cheaper valuations. As you can see from Chart 2 below, the Return on Equity which measures the prospective return against the value of shares of our portfolio is at a premium to the market, while the Price to Earnings ratio which measures the price of the shares of the portfolio against its earnings, is at a significant discount.

2 Fidelity International Internal Information The PE Ratio is a measure for valuing a company's share price versus its earnings. PE based on FY1 estimates. A low PE Ratio can indicate that a company may currently be undervalued. The Return on Equity measures the return on a company's stock. The higher the percentage, the more income the company is generating and adding to shareholder value.

Overall, we are very comfortable with the portfolio as it stands today. We are overweight in China compared with the Index given that we see many opportunities to own well-financed and well-run businesses with a significant margin of safety, meaning that they are available at an attractive valuation. We are convinced that China remains home to innovation and technological excellence with its substantial pool of well-educated workforce. It also maintains its position as a highly competitive manufacturing hub for the world, offering technology and cost leadership. Indonesia is another country where we continue to find investment opportunities at the right price, particularly in well-run financials and we have selected long-term

winners in the consumer staples space. Meanwhile, we continue to stay away from sectors and countries that most investors find fashionable, such as AI-driven technology hardware; Taiwan and Korea; as well as expensive small caps in India. This strategy has served us well in the past and we believe it will continue to reward us well in the coming three to five years.

Interim Management Report and Directors' Responsibility Statement

Board Changes

Following completion of the Board's succession planning, Michael Warren retired from the Board at the conclusion of the AGM in November 2024, at which point the Board reverted to five non-executive Directors.

Discount Management and Share Repurchases

With geopolitical tensions remaining high, market conditions have continued to be unsettled, leading to a degree of volatility in the Company's share price discount to NAV, which ranged during the period between 8.2% at its narrowest and 14.5% at its widest, finishing the end of the reporting period at 9.5%. In the six-month reporting period, the Company repurchased 1,503,615 ordinary shares (2.0% of the issued share capital) for holding in Treasury, at a cost of £7,550,000. Since then and up to the latest practicable date of this report, 1,121,748 shares have been repurchased as part of the Company's active and ongoing discount management strategy. The primary purpose of share buybacks is to limit discount volatility, and at the AGM on 21 November 2024 the Board received shareholder approval to renew the annual authority to repurchase up to 14.99% or to allot up to 10% of the ordinary shares in issue.

The timing of repurchases of ordinary shares are made at the discretion of the Broker, within guidelines set by the Board and considering market conditions at the time. Shares will only be repurchased in the market at prices below the prevailing NAV per ordinary share, thereby resulting in an accretive enhancement to the NAV per ordinary share. Shares repurchased are currently held in Treasury and would only be reissued at NAV per ordinary share or at a premium to NAV per ordinary share. The Board will consider cancelling shares when the percentage of shares held in Treasury exceeds 10% of the total issued share capital.

Allocation of Investment Management Fees and Finance Costs

The Board has elected under the Statement of Recommended Practice: Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts ("SORP") issued by the Association of Investment Trust Companies, to charge 75% of the base investment management fees and finance costs to capital and 25% to revenue with effect from 1 August 2024. The Board believes that this allocation better reflects the Company's focus on capital growth to generate returns. Previously, these costs were charged in their entirety to revenue. The change does not affect the total return although relative rates of taxation of income and capital gains may be a consideration for some investors.

The variable investment management fee continues to be allocated wholly to capital.

Principal and Emerging Risks

Job No: 54244 Proof Event: 7 Black Line Event: 1 Park Communications Ltd Alpine Way London E6 6LA Customer: Fidelity Project Title: Asian Values Half Year Rpt 2025 T: 0207 055 6500 F: 020 7055 6600

The Board, with the assistance of the Manager (FIL Investments Services (UK) Limited), has developed a risk matrix which, as part of the risk management and internal controls process, identifies the key existing and emerging risks and uncertainties faced by the Company.

The Board considers that the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Company continue to fall into the following risk categories: economic, political and market; investment performance (including the use of derivatives and gearing); changes in legislation, taxation or regulation; cybercrime and information security; business continuity and crisis management; competition and marketplace threats impacting business

growth; level of discount to net asset value; operational; key person; and environmental, social and governance (ESG). Information on each of these risks is given in the Strategic Report section of the Annual Report on pages 24 to 28 for the year ended 31 July 2024 which can be found on the Company's pages of the Manager's website at www.fidelity.co.uk/asianvalues.

There continues to be increased geopolitical risks facing the company, including political and trade tensions globally, trade sanctions and a challenging regulatory environment hindering foreign investment. Global economic uncertainty is raised by the ongoing war in Ukraine, the potential for further Middle East conflict despite the ceasefire, ongoing tensions between South Korea and North Korea, South China Sea dispute and implications of China-Taiwan relations. The Board and the Manager remain vigilant in monitoring such risks.

In recent months, there have been increased concerns around investment cost disclosure and its impact in the industry. There is a risk that the FCA's proposed Consumer Composite Investment (CCI) regime may make investment companies more complex for consumers and other investors to understand and increase the regulatory burden imposed on the sector if it proceeds with some of the proposals as drafted.

There are increased threats facing the sector within the current market environment of increased mergers and acquisitions activity. The investment company sector has suffered from significant discounts for an extended period and this has allowed for some activist managers to take a more aggressive approach. The Board is aware of these risks and continues to actively monitor the Company's discount and is taking action within the guidelines set.

Globally, climate change effects are already being experienced in the form of a changing pattern of weather events. Climate change can potentially impact the operations of investee companies, their supply chains and their customers. Additional risks may also arise from increased regulations, costs and net-zero programmes which can all impact investment returns. The Board notes that the Manager has integrated ESG considerations into the Company's investment process. The Board will continue to monitor how this may impact the Company as a risk on investment valuations and potentially affect shareholder returns.

The Board and the Manager are also monitoring the emerging risks and rewards posed by the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and technology and how this may threaten the Company's activities and its potential impact on the portfolio and investee companies. AI can provide asset managers powerful tools, such as enhancing data analysis risk management, trading strategies, operational efficiency and client servicing, all of which can lead to better investment outcomes and more efficient operations. However, with these advances in computer power that will impact society, there are risks from its increasing use and manipulation with the potential to harm, including a heightened threat to cybersecurity.

Other emerging risks may continue to evolve from future geopolitical and economic events.

Investors should be prepared for market fluctuations and remember that holding shares in the Company should be considered to be a long-term investment. Risks are mitigated by the investment trust structure of the Company which means that the Portfolio Managers

Interim Management Report and Directors' Responsibility Statement continued

are not required to trade to meet investor redemptions. Therefore, investments in the Company's portfolio can be held over a longertime horizon.

The Manager has appropriate business continuity and operational resilience plans in place to ensure the continued provision of services. This includes investment team key activities, including those of portfolio managers, analysts and trading/support functions. The Manager reviews its operational resilience strategies on an ongoing basis and continues to take all reasonable steps in meeting its regulatory obligations, assess its ability to continue operating and the steps it needs to take to serve and support its clients, including the Board.

The Company's other third-party service providers also have similar measures in place to ensure that business disruption is kept to a minimum.

Transactions with the Manager and Related Parties

The Manager has delegated the Company's portfolio management of assets and company secretariat services to FIL Investments International. Transactions with the Manager and related party transactions with the Directors are disclosed in Note 13 to the Financial Statements on page 29.

Going Concern Statement

The Directors have considered the Company's investment objective, risk management policies, liquidity risk, credit risk, capital management policies and procedures, the nature of its portfolio and its expenditure and cash flow projections. The Directors, having considered the liquidity of the Company's portfolio of investments (being mainly securities which

are readily realisable) and the projected income and expenditure, are satisfied that the Company is financially sound and has adequate resources to meet all of its liabilities and ongoing expenses and can continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Half-Yearly Report.

This conclusion also takes into account the Board's assessment of the ongoing risks as outlined on the previous pages.

Accordingly, the Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Continuation votes are held every five years and the next continuation vote will be put to shareholders at the AGM in 2026.

1 Principal Activity

Fidelity Asian Values PLC is an Investment Company incorporated in England and Wales that is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Company's registration number is 3183919, and its registered office is Beech Gate, Millfield Lane, Lower Kingswood, Tadworth, Surrey KT20 6RP. The Company has been approved by HM Revenue & Customs as an Investment Trust under Section 1158 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and intends to conduct its affairs so as to continue to be approved.

2 Publication of Non-statutory Accounts

Notes to the Financial Statements The Financial Statements in this Half-Yearly Report have not been audited by the Company's Independent Auditor and do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"). The financial information for the year ended 31 July 2024 is extracted from the latest published Financial Statements of the Company. Those Financial Statements were delivered to the Registrar of Companies and included the Independent Auditor's Report which was unqualified and did not contain a statement under either section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Act.

3 Accounting Policies (i) Basis of Preparation

The Company prepares its Financial Statements on a going concern basis and in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice ("UK GAAP") and FRS 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, issued by the Financial Reporting Council. The Financial Statements are also prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts ("SORP") issued by the Association of Investment Companies ("AIC") in July 2022. FRS 104: Interim Financial Reporting has also been applied in preparing this condensed set of Financial Statements. The accounting policies followed are consistent with those disclosed in the Company's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 July 2024.

(ii) Base Investment Management Fees and Finance Costs

With effect from 1 August 2024, the Board elected under the Statement of Recommended Practice: Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts ("SORP") issued by the Association of Investment Trust Companies, to charge 75% of base management fees and finance costs to capital and 25% to revenue, reflecting the Company's focus on capital growth to generate returns.

The treatment of the variable management fee and other expenses remains unchanged.

(iii) Going Concern

Job No: 54244 Proof Event: 7 Black Line Event: 1 Park Communications Ltd Alpine Way London E6 6LA Customer: Fidelity Project Title: Asian Values Half Year Rpt 2025 T: 0207 055 6500 F: 020 7055 6600 The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these Financial Statements. Accordingly, the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these Financial Statements. This conclusion also takes into account the Directors' assessment of the risks faced by the Company as detailed in the Interim Management Report on pages 12 to 14.

Prior to this date, base investment management fees were charged 100% to revenue.

2 For the calculation of the variable management fee, the Company's NAV return was compared to the Benchmark Index return on a rolling three year basis.

FIL Investment Services (UK) Limited is the Company's Alternative Investment Fund Manager and has delegated portfolio management to FIL Investments International ("FII"). Both companies are Fidelity group companies.

FII charges base investment management fees at an annual rate of 0.70% of net assets. In addition, there is a +/- 0.20% variation fee based on the Company's NAV per ordinary share performance relative to the Company's Benchmark Index which is charged/credited to capital. Fees are payable monthly in arrears and are calculated on a daily basis.

Data Protection

General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR")

What personal data is collected and how is it used

The Company is an investment trust which is a public limited company and has certain regulatory obligations such as the requirement to send documents to its shareholders, for example, the Annual Report and other documents that relate to meetings of the Company. The Company will, therefore, collect shareholders' personal data such as names, addresses and identification numbers or investor codes, and will use this personal data to fulfil its statutory obligations.

Any personal data collected will be kept securely on computer systems and in some circumstances on paper. Personal information is kept secure in line with Fidelity's Information Security policies and standards. If you are unhappy with how we have used your personal data, you can complain by contacting the UK Data Protection Officer, Fidelity International, Beech Gate, Millfield Lane, Lower Kingswood, Tadworth, Surrey KT20 6RP.

Sharing personal data

In order to assist the Company in meeting its statutory requirements, the Company delegates certain duties around the processing of this data to its third party service providers, such as the Company's Registrar and Printers. The Company has appointed Fidelity to undertake marketing activities for the Company and their privacy statement can be found on the Company's website at https://investment-trusts.fidelity.co.uk/security-privacy/

The Company's agreements with the third party service providers have been updated to be compliant with GDPR requirements. The Company confirms to its shareholders that their data will not be shared with any third party for any other purpose, such as for marketing purposes. In some circumstances, it may be necessary to transfer shareholders' personal data across national borders to Fidelity Group entities operating in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Where this does occur, the European standard of protections will be applied to the personal data that is processed. Where personal data is transferred within the Fidelity group, but outside of the EEA, that data will subsequently receive the same degree of protection as it would in the EEA.

Retention period

Personal data will be kept for as long as is necessary for these purposes and no longer than legally permitted to do so.

Requesting access, making changes to personal data and other important information

Shareholders can access the information that the Company holds about them or ask for it to be corrected or deleted by contacting Fidelity's UK Data Protection Officer, Fidelity International, Beech Gate, Millfield Lane, Lower Kingswood, Tadworth, Surrey KT20 6RP.

These include a duty upon each Director to act in the way she or he considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole.
