PORTFOLIO MANAGER
It's really important as an investor to look at how the government's changes will impact individual companies. The government wants to change the economy to a more consumer-led model and is also committed to improving the living standards of the population. This would cover areas such as consumer goods and services, health care, anti-pollution and the internet and I think private companies in particular are likely to benefit. These 'new' industries should grow faster than the overall economy, and the companies within these areas should thrive. That said, one must be mindful of all sectors in the market and investors cannot ignore China's State Owned Enterprises, some of which trade at attractive valuations and will likely see improvements driven by reform.
Over the last 12 months, valuations across the Chinese market have diverged, particularly when looking at strong performing areas such as IT versus underperforming areas such as banks. While I am conscious that 'new' China industries like IT may be running a little ahead of themselves, I am also aware that many of these companies have much better growth prospects than their global peers.

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.
GROSS ASSET EXPOSURE
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).
GEARING
Gross Asset Exposure in excess of net assets.
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.
