Fund Manager commentary Investment environment

Asian equity markets were broadly flat over April with US inflation dictating sentiment globally as it proved higher than expected. This led to expectations for fewer interest rate cuts and bond yields responded by moving higher (prices lower), with the US dollar also strengthening.

Chinese equities were a strong performer as sentiment turned more positive, with regulators pointing towards more capital markets reform including higher dividends and share buybacks along with more property policy loosening.

Indonesia was the weakest performer, led in part by a move away from strong performers as investors switched towards China. Currency weakness also led to the central bank raising interest rates.

Utilities companies generally performed well over the period as there was interest in the sector given the significant power demands for artificial intelligence (AI), which had been highlighted as a potential roadblock by industry leaders.

Information technology (IT) was the weakest performing sector. Higher-for-longer interest rates impacted the discount rate for companies that are deriving much of their value from future growth prospects, along with a correction in US companies such as NVIDIA which drove sentiment lower for the sector.

Portfolio review

The strongest positive contributor during the month was our recent addition in Brilliance China, a high yielding auto company with a joint venture with BMW. We are witnessing exceptional cash-flow, stable operating performance and government support in the auto sector, which we think bodes well for this Chinese state-ownedenterprise (SOE) trading at what we saw as an attractive valuation. Midea Group and Anta Sports were key performers as some areas of Chinese consumption showed some strength, combined with support from the government - for example, with respect to replacement of home appliances. Our Indian utility holdings NTPC and Power Grid also performed strongly as power demand remained resilient in India.

The weakness in the IT sector was reflected in the weak performance of ASE Technology and Samsung Electronics over the month, as some profit taking and the prospect of higher-for-longer interest rates dampened enthusiasm for growth-style stocks. Our key detractor was the Taiwanese technology name Mediatek, which suffered from weaker sentiment in the sector and as a recent outperformer witnessed some profit taking. Our Indonesian bank holdings were also key detractors as Indonesian stocks fell due to earnings downgrades, weakening currency and intervention from the central bank to raise rates to support the currency.

We found the prospect of corporate reform in China compelling given the low valuations and exceptionally high yields available for some SOEs. On that basis, we added positions in China Citic Bank and Industrial Bank in China. We also added another SOE, China Resources Land, a high-quality property investment group in China with a high yield and a key beneficiary of the recent property loosening measures in the country.

Manager outlook

While the challenges faced by China dominate headlines, there are numerous bright spots which we expect to be positive for performance. India, Indonesia, Taiwan and South Korea provide compelling exposure to growth themes in the region. They are also demonstrating evidence of dividend growth with areas such as Indonesian banks, firms exposed to South Korean corporate reform and Taiwanese technology firms providing high and growing dividends. If the recent stabilisation in China's macroeconomic data turns into something more positive then this, along with potential interest rate cuts in the second half of 2024, could provide a further boost to Asian markets.

The economic growth differential between Asia and the rest of the world remains wide and valuations continue to be attractive. We are observing significant opportunities to accumulate quality companies which are growing their earnings and increasing their dividends across many of our markets. The outlook for dividends in the region remains robust as positive free cash flow generation alongside the strength of balance sheets - with record cash held by corporates - provide a strong backdrop across a number of sectors and markets across the region.

Glossary

Discount/Premium

The amount by which the price per share of an investment company is either lower (at a discount) or higher (at a premium) than the net asset value per share (cum income), expressed as a percentage of the net asset value per share.

Gearing

The effect of borrowing money for investment purposes (financial gearing). The amount a company can "gear" is the amount it can borrow in order to invest. Gearing is used in the expectation that the returns on the investments bought will exceed the costs of the borrowings that funded the purchase. This Company can also use synthetic gearing through derivatives and foreign exchange hedging and/or other non-fully funded instruments or techniques.

Leverage

The Company's leverage is the sum of financial gearing and synthetic gearing. Details of the Company's leverage limits can be found in both the Key Information Document and Annual Report. Where a company utilises leverage, the profits and losses incurred by the company can be greater than those of a company that does not use leverage.

Market capitalisation

Share price multiplied by the number of shares in issue, excluding treasury shares, at month end. Shares typically priced mid-market at month-end closing.

Net Asset Value (NAV)

The total value of a Company's assets less its liabilities.

NAV (Cum Income)

The value of investments and cash, including current year revenue, less liabilities (prior charges such as loans, debenture stock and preference shares at fair value).

NAV (Ex Income)

The value of investments and cash, excluding current year revenue, less liabilities (prior charges such as loans, debenture stock and preference shares at fair value).

NAV total return

The theoretical total return on shareholders' funds per share reflecting the change in Net Asset Value (NAV) assuming that dividends paid to shareholders were reinvested at NAV at the time the shares were quoted ex-dividend. A way of measuring investment management performance of investment trusts which is not affected by movements in discounts/premiums.

Net assets

Total assets minus any liabilities such as bank loans or creditors.

Net cash

A company's net exposure to cash/cash equivalents expressed as a percentage of shareholders' funds, after any offset against its gearing. This is only shown for companies that have gearing in place.

Net gearing

A company's total assets (less cash/cash equivalents) divided by shareholders' funds expressed as a percentage.

Ongoing charges

The total expenses for the financial year (excluding performance fee), divided by the average daily net assets, multiplied by 100.

Risk rating

The key measure used to assess risk is volatility of returns, using historic net asset value (NAV) performance of the Company over 1 and 3 years. In this instance volatility measures how much a company's NAV fluctuates over time in relation to the UK Equity market. The higher a volatility figure, the more the NAV has fluctuated (both up and down) over time. Please note that risk categorisations are indicative and based principally on historic data and should not be solely relied upon when making investment decisions.

Share price

Closing mid-market share price at month end.

Share price total return

The theoretical total return to the investor assuming that all dividends received were reinvested in the shares of the company at the time the shares were quoted ex-dividend. Transaction costs are not taken into account.

Total assets

Cum Income NAV multiplied by the number of shares, plus prior charges at fair value.

Yield

Calculated by dividing the current financial year's dividends per share (this will include prospective dividends) by the current price per share, then multiplying by 100 to arrive at a percentage figure.

Company specific risks

• This Company is suitable to be used as one component of several within a diversified investment portfolio. Investors should consider carefully the proportion of their portfolio invested in this Company.
• Active management techniques that have worked well in normal market conditions could prove ineffective or negative for performance at other times.
• The Company could lose money if a counterparty with which it trades becomes unwilling or unable to meet its obligations to the Company.
• Shares can lose value rapidly, and typically involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments. The value of your investment may fall as a result.
• The return on your investment is directly related to the prevailing market price of the Company's shares, which will trade at a varying discount (or premium) relative to the value of the underlying assets of the Company. As a result, losses (or gains) may be higher or lower than those of the Company's assets.
• If a Company's portfolio is concentrated towards a particular country or geographical region, the investment carries greater risk than a portfolio that is diversified across more countries.
• The Company has significant exposure to Emerging Markets, which tend to be less stable than more established markets. These markets can be affected by local political and economic conditions as well as variances in the reliability of trading systems, buying and selling practices, and financial reporting standards.
• The portfolio allows the manager to use options for efficient portfolio management. Options can be volatile and may result in a capital loss.
• Where the Company invests in assets that are denominated in currencies other than the base currency, the currency exchange rate movements may cause the value of investments to fall as well as rise.
• The Company may use gearing (borrowing to invest) as part of its investment strategy. If the Company utilises its ability to gear, the profits and losses incurred by the Company can be greater than those of a Company that does not use gearing.
• All or part of the Company's management fee is taken from its capital. While this allows more income to be paid, it may also restrict capital growth or even result in capital erosion over time.
