Fund Manager commentary Investment environment

Asian equities fell in US dollar terms following a sell-off in technology stocks towards the end of the month.

Indian stock markets continued to rally in July, boosted by foreign inflows and a robust earnings outlook for the information technology (IT) sector.

Taiwan was the weakest performer as the country's technology sector was adversely affected by a deterioration in sentiment around artificial intelligence (AI). Chinese equities also lagged after the country announced lower-than-expected second-quarter GDP growth.

Utilities was the best-performing sector as firms benefited from growing expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would cut interest rates as early as September. Financials and consumer staples were also positive. The sell-off in technology stocks weighed on the IT sector, which performed negatively.

Portfolio review

Infosys was the key positive contributor after the company posted strong quarterly results and raised its full-year revenue guidance. Infosys, one of India's largest IT services firms, projected a recovery in its financial services business. Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) was another positive contributor as its share price rose after announcing resilient results, with its high dividend yield

particularly noteworthy given it is a value-style company.

Conversely, the holdings in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and MediaTek detracted due to a sell-off in technology stocks towards the end of the month.

In terms of activity, we initiated a new position in Trip.com because we felt the valuation was attractive for this outof-favour internet stock. We also wrote call options on a few of our technology holdings such as MediaTek and Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, given the current higher market volatility. We managed to lock in option premiums at what we saw as very attractive levels while hedging some of the fund's exposure to the technology sector.

Over the month we increased the fund's positions in BPCL and Macquarie Group. BPCL posted strong refining results and offered a high yield, while the Australian financial conglomerate might typically be expected to benefit from higher volatility of commodity prices should this continue into the second half of the year.

Manager outlook

While the challenges faced by China dominate headlines, there are numerous bright spots. 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, 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 to us. We are observing significant opportunities to accumulate quality companies which have been 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 being held by companies provide a strong backdrop across a number of sectors and markets across the Far East.

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.

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.
