Comment -
As at 30th June 2001, the net asset value per Participating Share of the Fund
was $15.50. This compares with $14.73 at the interim stage at 31st December
2000, and $17.64 at 30th June 2000.
At the beginning of 2001 emerging market valuations relative to the MSCI World
Index were back at levels not seen since early 1987, and individual company
valuations were at levels comparable to those of the early 1990s. While clearly
there was value available in the emerging markets, it was more difficult to
predict catalyst(s) which might cause this latent value to be realised. In the
event, the first six months of 2001 produced a small positive return in US$,
which was very welcome at a time when major market indices continued to
deteriorate despite aggressive interest rate cutting by the U.S. Federal
Reserve, and given that throughout the period the strength of the US$ continued
to erode US$ denominated returns.
We believe that a diversified portfolio of emerging markets stocks with strong
future cash flow characteristics, such as that held by the Fund, ought to be
capable of making headway even in a discouraging environment.
The Directors do not recommend payment of a dividend.
