PORTFOLIO MANAGER

China's economic environment has improved in December as we saw a further decline in inflation. Its policymakers can now focus on promoting growth by further loosening their monetary policies. I think this provides a favourable backdrop for the country's equity market and I expect more money to flow into China from investors in developed markets where we have sovereign debt problems and mediocre prospects over the next few years.

Anthony Bolton, Portfolio Manager

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

The fund generated negative returns and underperformed its benchmark in December due to the overweight exposure to the mid and small cap stocks. The lack of exposure to bigger banks such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Bank of China proved unrewarding while certain high conviction holdings in the consumer discretionary space also hurt returns. However, the manager continues to be positive on the consumption and services sectors and remain underweight in exporters, commodities, infrastructure companies, banks and property companies. Consumption and services are not immune to any slowdown in China but structural trends of a fast growing and increasingly affluence middle class make them attractive long term investments.

GLOSSARY

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.

GEARING EXPOSURE

Investment trusts have the ability to borrow additional money to invest, known as gearing. The trust has the ability to use bank loans, bank overdrafts and Contracts for Difference (CFDs) to increase its exposure to stocks. CFDs are used as a way of gaining exposure to the price movements of shares without buying the underlying shares directly.

PREMIUM

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

TOP 10 SECURITY HOLDINGS

The ten largest holdings by value are valued at fair value and shown as a percentage of gross assets. Gross assets represent total assets less current liabilities, excluding the fixed term bank loan. Contracts for difference are valued at the difference between the settlement price and the fair value of the underlying listed investments in the contract.

CHINA H SHARES

China H Shares are shares in companies incorporated in the People's Republic of China (PRC) which are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. China H Shares are available to non- Chinese investors and are traded in Hong Kong Dollars on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

CHINA A SHARES

China A Shares are traded on the Chinese Stock Exchanges in Renminbi. Foreign investors had historically been unable to participate in the China A Share market. However, following China's introduction of the QFII program in 2002, a legal framework has been provided for licensed QFIIs to invest in China A Shares on the Chinese Stock Exchanges and certain other securities previously not eligible for investment by foreign investors.

CHINA B SHARES

China B Shares are traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Shanghai Stock Exchange in Hong Kong Dollars and US Dollars, respectively. China B Shares were originally intended to be available only to foreign individual and institutional investors. However, since February 2001, China B Shares have been available to domestic individual investors who trade through legal foreign currency accounts.

RED CHIPS

Red Chip is the term used to describe companies incorporated outside China but which are based in mainland China. Red Chips are listed on, and are required to observe the filing and reporting requirements of, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Red Chips typically have a significant portion of their business interests located in mainland China and many are owned, either directly or indirectly, by organisations or enterprises controlled by the Chinese state, provinces or municipalities.

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.
