Dividends

No dividends were declared during the period.

Managers'review, outlook and strategy

Asian equity markets have fallen over the period as investor risk aversion has
increased due to several different factors, including renewed concerns over the
prospect of tighter global liquidity conditions as the US Federal Reserve (Fed)
confirmed that it would start to taper its asset purchase programme. Meanwhile,
optimism surrounding China's new reform agenda has been reversed by some
weaker-than-expected economic data and negative news flow surrounding a Chinese
trust fund.

Asian economic growth has slowed, but we expect it to remain stable and be
sufficiently high in 2014 to offer attractive investment opportunities.
Inflationary pressures are less of a concern, except in India and Indonesia,
where monetary policy has had to be tightened. Although the region continues to
face a number of challenges that require structural reform, we believe markets
have to a large extent taken this into account given their current low
valuation levels relative to history and against developed markets. Consensus
earnings growth forecasts for Asia Pacific ex Japan are currently around 10.3%
for 2014, bringing valuation levels for the region to 11.7 times 2014 expected
earnings. These valuation levels remain supportive of Asia Pacific ex Japan
equity markets in our view.

The new reform agenda in China provides us with grounds for optimism in the
medium-term; particularly the policies and initiatives that are focused on
allowing market forces a more decisive role in the allocation of resources,
improving capital allocation and shifting income towards households. There have
also been signs of positive change elsewhere in Asia, for example in India,
where the gradual emergence of a more progressive reform agenda is likely to be
the focus of this year's general election. While we acknowledge that with
change comes uncertainty, as long term investors we believe that these forces
for change could potentially drive Asia's next leg of sustainable growth.

We believe the investment trust remains well-balanced, with exposure to a
variety of businesses that possess strong competitive advantages and
undervalued earnings growth prospects. The investment trust remains well
diversified geographically, with our largest overweight position relative to
the benchmark index being in Hong Kong and China. We continue to favour
consumer-related areas of this market, but have recently added exposure in more
economically sensitive areas trading at particularly undemanding valuation
levels, in our view. We remain underweight in Australia and its banks,
preferring to hold what we consider to be good quality banks that appear well
placed to grow their loan books profitably in countries where credit
penetration is low. However, given recent weakness in the Australian dollar we
have become more constructive on the Australian equity market, and would expect
to gradually reduce the portfolio's underweight position as and when we find
stock specific opportunities. Our exposure in the techology sector remains
significant and includes industry leaders as well as Chinese internet companies
that are fundamentally undervalued in our opinion, despite consistently
generating strong free cash flow.

Asian equity markets should continue to enjoy the support of structural trends
that can be expected to remain intact over the medium-term, such as rising
incomes and robust domestic consumption. While Asian markets have
underperformed global markets over the last couple of years, valuations have to
a large extent discounted the negative news, and are below average levels.
While this is a challenging macroeconomic environment for investors, we believe
we can continue to find attractive investment opportunities in our universe.
