	Portfolio Manager Commentary

The portfolio favours companies with management who have a proven track record of managing through economic cycles. I focus on companies with entrenched market positions where solid management of the company is exhibited in the ability to grow market share while maintaining pricing power. Typically these companies are likely to emerge stronger after any downturn. I pay particular attention to balance sheet strength and hence tend to hold companies that have low leverage. Since understanding a company in isolation is insufficient, I also consider the long term trends in an industry and the market, which can deliver a tangible investment advantage. The Fund typically holds between 30-70 stocks. I control risk in a number of ways such as holding a widely diversified portfolio of stocks invested across the Asian region, avoiding companies without sustainable growth models, weak management and corporate governance. Asia is likely to benefit from the economic recovery currently underway in the US and in Europe. While China has seen concerns around its growth outlook, its markets have appropriately reflected this in pricing. . Corporate earnings and economic growth are likely to remain healthy in Asia, as intra-regional trade and domestic consumption expands. Corporate fundamentals in Asia remain strong, with equity valuations in the region below their long term averages, particularly in North Asia.

Key Risks

The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount invested. Overseas investments may be more volatile than established markets. The shares in the investment trust are listed on the London Stock Exchange and their price is affected by supply and demand. The investment trust can gain additional exposure to the market, known as gearing, potentially increasing volatility.

The portfolio manager employs a fundamental bottom-up approach based upon independent proprietary research with active country and sector allocation being a result of stock selection. Notably, companies with entrenched market positions are favoured, where strength and management quality of the company are exhibited in the ability to grow market share while maintaining pricing power.

These details make fundamental analysis more effective and allow the fund manager to identify undervalued companies with:

• strong finances
• excellent managment • potential for long-term earnings growth

Independent Assessment

Information in this section is the latest available at date of publication. Further details can be found in the Glossary section of this factsheet. As some ratings agencies may use past performance to produce their assessments, these are not a reliable indicator of future results.

Portfolio Construction – Explained How data is calculated and presented

Portfolio composition data has been calculated and presented according to several general principles, which are listed below.

• Aggregation: all investments, including derivatives, linked to a particular issuing company have been combined to form a total percentage holding for each company. The aggregate holding is referred to in this factsheet as a position. Where a company is listed in two separate countries, each listing may be classified as a separate issuing company.

• Categorisation: for aggregated investments we use the underlying attributes of the issuing company or common share to determine the appropriate sector, market capitalisation band and geographic area.

• Derivatives: all derivatives are included on an exposure basis and, where necessary, are delta-adjusted. Delta-adjusting expresses derivatives in terms of the equivalent number of shares that would be needed to generate the same return.

• "Basket" securities: securities that represent a number of company shares – like index futures or options – are allocated to categories (such as country) whenever possible. Otherwise they are included in the "Other Index / Unclassified" category.

Glossary / Additional Notes

Equity Exposure notes

GROSS ASSET EXPOSURE

Gross Asses Exposure expresses the value of the portfolio to which the Company is exposed, whether through direct or indirect investment (including the economic value of the exposure in the underlying asset of the derivatives, but excluding forward currency contracts).

NET EQUITY

The net positive exposure to the market with short and hedge positions subtracted from long positions.

This factsheet contains information about the composition of the fund at a particular point in time. It aims to help you understand how the fund manager is positioned to achieve the fund's objectives.

The Equity Exposure table provides an overall view of the fund. Net Equity represents - in percentage terms - how much of the fund is invested in the market, netting off long and short positions. The higher the figure, the more the fund will take part in any market rises (or falls). It is important to note that Net Equity can be greater than 100% (for example if the manager is using derivative contracts).

The exposure and positioning tables on page 2 break the fund down into a number of different views, each providing a different perspective on the fund's investments.

Glossary / Additional Notes

OTHER

The value of any non-equity investments (excluding cash funds) expressed as a percentage of fund TNA.

UNINVESTED CASH

This is 100% minus the fund's Net Equity exposure and minus Other. This leaves any residual cash exposure that is not invested in shares or via derivatives.

Investment Trust Facts

NAV

The total value of a company's assets less the total value of its liabilities is its net asset value (NAV). For valuation purposes it is common to divide net assets by the number of shares in issue to give the net assets per share. NAV calculations can include or exclude current financial year income. For the purposes of this factsheet, they are valued with assets including income and costs and with debt valued at the market.

DISCOUNT

If the share price of an investment company is lower than the net asset value (NAV) per share, the company is said to be trading at a discount. The discount is shown as a percentage of the NAV.

GEARING

Gearing is a figure representing any additional exposure to investments (borrowing), in excess of shareholders' funds, achieved using bank loans, bank overdrafts or Contracts for Difference (CFDs) to increase its exposure to stocks. The figure expressed is the company's Gross Asset Exposure in excess of its Net Assets.

FAIR VALUE

The fair value of the listed investments is measured at bid prices or last prices quoted, depending on the convention of the exchange on which they are listed. Where permitted, unlisted investments, where there is not an active market, are valued using an appropriate valuation technique so as to establish what the transaction price would have been and derivative instruments are valued at the quoted trade price for the contract.

General notes

TOTAL NET ASSETS (TNA)

The Company's total assets minus its total liabilities - also known as Shareholders' Funds. It represents the amount by which a company is financed through common and preferred shares.

INDEX

The index used in the positioning tables on page 2 is the index defined in the Performance Comparator section on page 1.

TOP NET LONG POSITIONS

Those companies in which the largest percentages of the fund's total net assets are effectively invested. Positions in other funds – including ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) - can appear in this table, but index derivatives form part of an "Other Index / Unclassified" category which will not appear.

TOP OVERWEIGHT & UNDERWEIGHT POSITIONS

Those positions which have the largest active weight relative to the index. Positions in other funds - including ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) - can appear in this table, but index derivatives form part of an "Other Index / Unclassified" category which will not appear. In the underweight table, any short position names have been withheld in line with Fidelity's disclosure policy.

NET LONG POSITIONS CONCENTRATION

Illustrates the weight of the top 10, 20 and 50 positions in the fund and the weight of the top 10, 20 and 50 positions in the index. It does not attempt to show the coincidence of security ownership between fund and index. The sector/industry classification used (ie GICS, ICB, TOPIX and IPD) varies by fund. Full descriptions of GICS, ICB, TOPIX and IPD can be found in the glossary.

Glossary / Additional Notes

ONGOING CHARGES

The ongoing charges figure represents the charges taken from the fund over a year. It is calculated at the fund's financial year end and may vary from year to year. For new funds, the ongoing charges figure is estimated until the fund's financial year end.

The types of charges included in the ongoing charges figure are management fees, administration fees, custodian and depositary fees and transaction charges, shareholder reporting costs, regulatory registration fees, Directors fees (where applicable) and bank charges.

It excludes: performance fees (where applicable); portfolio transaction costs, except in the case of an entry/exit charge paid by the fund when buying or selling units in another collective investment undertaking.
