Comment -
As at 30th June 2002, the net asset value per Participating Share of the Fund
was $16.13. This compares with $15.65 at the interim stage at 31st December
2001, and $15.50 at 30th June 2001. The Directors do not recommend payment of a
dividend.
Although equity markets, both developed and emerging, were affected during 2002
by broad global, political or economic considerations, Emerging Markets as a
class continued to perform significantly better than the conventional markets.
While the latter part of 2001 was overshadowed by political events, the health
of the world economy was the underlying concern in early 2002, reflecting high
levels of corporate and consumer debt, lack of demand and pricing power, and
over-supply in many industries. Fundamentals for a generalised recovery in major
economies seemed to be lacking, and the explosive fourth quarter 2001 rally was
driven instead by highly liquid monetary conditions. The rally soon petered out
in early 2002 at which point the Emerging Markets began to surge ahead, both
relatively and in absolute terms.
Looking forward, it is possible to find reasons for caution in the political/
economic environment. That said, there are significant reasons to be optimistic
about emerging markets, including compelling valuations (both in absolute terms
and relative to other major markets), fast rising returns on equity amongst
better run emerging markets companies, and demographic trends.
