Portfolio and Market Review

Ongoing fears of a slowdown in China drove sentiment inAsian equities. A strong US dollar, combined with thefluctuating oil price, also made for a challenging 12months for a number of emerging markets.

Recent data on China showed the economy had grown6.7% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2016, amidmixed economic data. Retail sales remained elevated,although exports continue to slide. However, this is inkeeping with authorities attempts to rebalance theeconomy.

China’s problems also hurt several emerging economiesin the region, as the country is a major export market fornumerous nations. This led growth to stutter in the likesof Thailand and the Philippines. The relativelyunpredictable nature of economic policy also weighed onthe latter. However, Indonesia held up better on hopesthat much-needed infrastructure spending would supportthe economy. Lastly, news from India was mixed, with alack of major reforms on some key issues counteracted byvictories elsewhere, notably the passage of thebankruptcy bill. Falling inflation also allowed thecountry’s central bank to cut rates, giving market support.

Turning to activity, we purchased Aristocrat Leisure, anAustralian developer of slot/gaming machines. Thecompany is investing in new studios and game-designtalent, which has improved its product offering and ishelping it land greater market share in the US, Asia andAustralia. Elsewhere, we added Taiwanese mobile phoneoperator Fat Eastone to the portfolio. Investors appear tobe underappreciating the potential upside to margins ashandset subsidies rollover, coupled with revenue growthon 3G to 4G migration and reduction of unlimited dataplans. We also purchased shares in Larsen & Toubro,India’s largest engineering and construction firm. Giventhe company’s expertise in defence, water and railwaysprojects, it is well-placed to benefit from the government’sincreased infrastructure spending.

On the sell side, we exited Korean steel producer Poscodue to slowing growth in demand for the metal. It hasalso been slow to restructure. We sold Australia’s Qantasairline due to concerns about profitability as a result ofincreased completion on international routes and theslowing domestic economy. Lastly, we sold Hang Seng

Bank as we think slowing loan growth, a decline incompetitive margins and a normalisation of credit costwill dent profitability.

As for performance, the holding in JB Hi-Hi was ahighlight after it announced strong operationalperformance in the wake of the demise of one of its mainrivals. An M&A deal was also well-received by investors.Indian private bank Yes Bank had a good year as itcontinued to deliver better-than-expected credit qualityrelative to its peers, while its growth outlook is strong.Leading tech firm Taiwan Semiconductor boosted theFund’s returns thanks to its solid operating performance,improving industry trends and a strong competitivepositioning amidst macroeconomic uncertainties.Additional highlights included Samsung Electronics,Challenger Limited and Air Asia.

By contrast, life insurer China Taiping was a drag onperformance despite robust underling sales. Its shareswere sold-off early in 2016 as the wider index enteredbear market territory. We since sold the stock. Indiapower equipment supplier Bharat Heavy Electrical alsounperformed the market after the company delivereddisappointing earnings and indicated that it wasconcerned about the size of future domestic powerprojects. Staying in India, shares in software servicescompany Infosys tumbled after it delivered poor Q2results that led to it reducing its earnings forecasts.Further disappointments included Makalot, Spotless andLenovo.

Market Outlook and Fund Strategy

We continued to reduce our exposure to China/HongKong over the quarter and we are now modestlyunderweight. We are also underweight ASEAN. Bycontrast, we added to our India and Taiwan positions andare now overweight. As for sectors, we are overweightconsumer discretionary, telecoms and IT; andunderweight materials, utilities and consumer staples.However, the positions are the result of stock-specificinsights rather than outright sector bets.

In the short term, Asia Pacific markets will continue totake their lead from global events. These include thestrength of economic growth in the developed world, USFederal Reserve interest rate policy and the possibility of

further geopolitical upheaval (including the fallout fromthe UK’s decision to exit the EU). The fortunes of China,including any growth-orientated policy measures enactedby the leadership in Beijing, will also continue to drivesentiment.

In general, from a long-term perspective we continue tobelieve that Asia Pacific is in a strong position.Demographics remain supportive and the ongoingreorientation of economies away from exports towardsconsumption should help create more stable growth.These factors should bolster Asian equities over thecoming years, helping underlying cashflows, reducingearnings volatility and working to spur dividend growth.This makes Asia Pacific an attractive investment for thoseseeking both capital gains and income. Valuations arealso appealing, while there are a number of companiesthat look well-placed to gain considerable market share.The increasing attractiveness of these businesses willbecome apparent as corporate profits consistently exceedexpectations.

Otherwise, thespecial dividends should be treated as revenue.

Note 1 Accounting policies(i) Deferred taxation

Deferred tax is provided at current rates of corporation tax on all timingdifferences which have originated but not reversed by the Balance sheet date.Deferred tax is not recognised on permanent differences. Deferred tax assets arerecognised only to the extent that the Manager considers it is more likely than notthat there will be taxable profits from which underlying timing differences can bededucted.

Note 2 Distribution policies(a) Basis of distribution

If, at the end of each accounting period, revenue exceedsexpenses, the net revenue of the Fund is available to be distributed/accumulatedto unitholders.The Fund is not more than 60% invested in qualifying investments (as definedby SI 2006/964, Reg 20) and will pay a dividend distribution.

(b) Unclaimed distributionsDistributions remaining unclaimed after six years are paid into the Fund as partof the capital property.

(c) Apportionment to multiple unit classesWith the exception of the Manager’s periodic charge, the allocation of revenueand expenses to each unit class is based upon the proportion of the Fund’sassets attributable to each unit class on the day the revenue is earned or theexpense is suffered. The Manager’s periodic charge is specific to each unit class.Tax will be allocated between the unit classes according to income.Consequently, the revenue available to distribute for each unit class will differ.

(d) Stock dividendsIt is the policy of the Fund, where applicable, to distribute the revenue element ofstock dividends.

Note 3 Risk management policiesThe main risks arising from the Fund’s financial instruments are market pricerisk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and counterparty risk.The Manager’s policies for managing these risks are summarised below andhave been applied throughout the year.

(a) Market price riskMarket price risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future prices of financialinstruments held. It represents the potential loss the Fund might suffer throughholding market positions in the face of price movements. The Fund’s investmentportfolio is exposed to market fluctuations which are monitored by the Managerin pursuit of the investment objectives and policies. Adherence to investmentguidelines and to investment and borrowing powers set out in the Trust Deed, theProspectus and in the Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook (“theSourcebook”) mitigates the risk of excessive exposure to any particular type ofsecurity or issuer.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 3 Risk management policies (continued)(b) Interest rate risk

The majority of the Fund’s financial assets are equity shares and otherinvestments which neither pay interest nor have a maturity date.

Interest receivable on bank deposits or payable on bank overdraft positions willbe affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

(c) Foreign currency riskAll of the Fund’s investment portfolio is invested in overseas securities and theBalance sheet can be significantly affected by movements in foreign exchangerates. The Fund may be subject to short term exposure to exchange ratemovements between placing the purchase or sale of securities and agreeing arelated currency transaction albeit usually the two transactions are agreed at thesame time.Any such currency transactions must be used in accordance with the investmentobjective of the Fund and must be deemed by the Investment Manager to beeconomically appropriate. Regular production of portfolio risk reports highlightconcentrations of risk, including currency risk, for the Fund.

(d) Liquidity riskThe Fund’s assets are comprised of mainly readily realisable securities. Ifinsufficient cash is available to finance unitholder redemptions then securitiesheld by the Fund may need to be sold. The risk of low market liquidity, throughreduced trading volumes, may affect the ability of the Fund to trade financialinstruments at values previously indicated by financial brokers. From time totime, liquidity may also be affected by stock specific or economic events. Tomanage these risks the Manager performs market research in order to achievethe best price for any transactions entered into on behalf of the Fund. All stocksare valued daily but those stocks identified as being less liquid are reviewed on aregular basis for pricing accuracy.

(e) Counterparty riskCertain transactions in securities that the Fund enters into expose it to therisk that the counterparty will not deliver the investment (purchase) orcash (sale) after the Fund has fulfilled its responsibilities. The Fund onlybuys and sells investments through brokers which have been approved bythe Manager as an acceptable counterparty. This list is reviewed annually.

(f) DerivativesDerivative transactions may be used by the Fund for the purposes of meeting itsinvestment objectives and also for hedging. In doing so the Manager may makeuse of a variety of derivative instruments in accordance with the Sourcebook. Theuse of derivatives for investment purposes means that the net asset value of theFund may at times have high volatility, although derivatives will not be used withthe intention of raising the risk profile of the Fund. Where derivatives are used forhedging this will not compromise the risk profile of the Fund. Use of derivativeswill not knowingly contravene any relevant investment objective or limits. There are no derivatives held at the year end.

It is unlikely that the Fund will generatesufficient taxable profits in the future to utilise these expenses and, therefore, nodeferred tax asset has been recognised in the year or the prior year.

Interest profileAt the year end date 2.59% (30/09/15: 2.62%) of the Fund’s net assets by valuewere interest bearing.Interest rates earned/paid on deposits are earned/paid at a rate linked to LIBOR(London Interbank Offered Rate) or international equivalent.

Sensitivity analysisInterest rate risk sensitivityAs the majority of the Fund’s financial assets are non-interest bearing, the Fund is onlysubject to limited exposure to fair value interest rate risk due to fluctuations in levels ofmarket interest rates.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 15 Financial instruments (continued)Foreign currency risk sensitivityA five percent increase in the value of the Fund's foreign currency exposure would have the effect of increasing the return and net assets by £1,124,341 (30/09/15: £944,645).A five percent decrease would have an equal and opposite effect.

Price risk sensitivityA five percent increase in the value of the Fund's portfolio would have the effect ofincreasing the return and net assets by £1,155,541 (30/09/15: £954,186). A fivepercent decrease would have an equal and opposite effect.

Note 16 Fair value of financial assets and liabilitiesThe fair value of the Fund’s investments has been determined using the hierarchybelow. This complies with the ‘Amendments to FRS102 – Fair value hierarchydisclosures’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council in March 2016. Although notrequired to be applied until accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January2017, the Manager has decided to apply this early.

Level 1 The unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets orliabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that areobservable (i.e. developed using market data) for the asset or liability,either directly or indirectly.
