PORTFOLIO MANAGER

China is at a very interesting juncture. We are now one year into a slow easing of policy and are starting to see evidence that activity has stabilised after a period of substantial slowdown. Indeed, some areas such as fixed asset investment are expanding again. An increased supply of credit (although nothing like the scale of credit expansion after the global financial crisis) is definitely helping. Despite this background, equity valuations generally remain very depressed and sentiment is negative, especially in the domestic 'A' share market. However, this is a market that can turn on a sixpence and I would be very surprised if 2013 isn't a much better year after an 'A' share bear market that has lasted over 3 years.

Anthony Bolton, Portfolio Manager

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

In November the trust underperformed its comparative index due to adverse returns in the financial and IT sectors. The largest detractor was Citic Securities, China's leading broker, on fears over falling market volumes. Mid-sized Hong Kong bank, Wing Hang, fell after the Hong Kong Government announced a tax on foreigners buying property, leading to lower mortgage expectations. Within IT, Baidu, China's number one online search engine, and online portal firm, Sina, were key detractors. On a positive note, positions in SPT Energy and Anton Oilfield Services rallied. Both firms are benefiting from China's continual investment in gas development and Anton Oilfiend also won a key horizintal drilling contract from Sinopec.

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.
