Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust PLC ("TEMIT")
On behalf of TEMIT, Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited reports the unaudited cum-income net asset value ("NAV") of TEMIT as at 12th December 2008 was £951m, representing a NAV of 287.84 pence per share.
The unaudited ex-income NAV of TEMIT as at 12th December 2008 was £930m, representing a NAV of 281.37 pence per share.
In accordance with the Association of Investment Companies recommendations, the cum-income NAV has been calculated based on the total value of underlying assets, including accumulated or accrued income, and using bid price information relating to the underlying assets. The ex-income NAV has been calculated based on the total value of underlying assets, excluding these income elements, and using bid price information relating to the underlying assets.
The NAV of TEMIT is calculated daily at US close of markets using the latest available closing bid prices in each market of investment. However, where appropriate, these prices are adjusted to a fair value basis having regard to a range of market triggers and proxies.
For information purposes only, if fair value at yesterday's US close had not been applied, the unadjusted cum-income NAV would have been £942m, representing a NAV of 285.12 pence per share and the unadjusted ex-income NAV would have been £921m, representing a NAV of 278.65 pence per share.
