PORTFOLIO MANAGER

We continue to see further evidence of the Chinese economy stabilising. Against this background Chinese equities look particularly attractive as valuations are still at the low end of their historical range. Additionally the leadership change could signal the speeding up of reforms and in particular the encouragement of private enterprise.

Anthony Bolton, Portfolio Manager

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

In October the trust underperformed its comparative index due to adverse returns in the financial and IT sectors. The largest detractor was insurer Ping An. Despite announcing a 21% increase in net profit from last year, its share price fell as profits, driven by investment losses, were down from the previous quarter. The fund also suffered from exposure to US listed Chinese stocks and A-shares as both of these share classes underperformed other Chinese listings. For example, US-listed Baidu, China's number one online search engine was a key detractor. However, we continue to hold this stock as the long-term structural internet penetration growth story remains intact. On a positive note, underweight positions in the telecoms and energy sectors contributed to performance.

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.

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 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 POSITIONS

The 10 largest investments are shown as a % of the total market exposure of the investment portfolio, including exposure to investments through derivatives.

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.
